'TimeCapsule' waterproof protective case that replaces the button battery of the lost item tracker 'AirTag' with two AA batteries to extend the life to 10 years



Apple's lost item tracker '

AirTag ' is equipped with a CR2032 button battery, and according to Apple's official website , it can be used for more than a year under normal use. However, even if the battery lasts for more than a year, it can be a problem if the battery runs out when you need it. With ' TimeCapsule ' by ElevationLab , which develops accessories for Apple products, you can extend the battery life of AirTag to 10 years by replacing the button battery with two AA batteries.

The Elevation Labs TimeCapsule will keep an AirTag alive for a decade - The Verge

Elevation Lab's Time Capsule is a product that allows you to open the back cover, remove the coin cell battery, place the AirTag in the dedicated case, insert two AA batteries, and tighten the screws to make the AirTag's battery last for about 10 years.



According to ElevationLab's Casey Hopkins, the TimeCapsule case is made of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) and will not reduce the range of the AirTag's Bluetooth and

UWB wireless communication . The case is also dust- and water-resistant to IP69 standards , meaning it can withstand high-pressure and high-temperature water jets from any direction while completely preventing dust from entering.



On the other hand, the default AirTag weighs only 11g, but the AirTag with TimeCapsule attached weighs 3.5 ounces (about 100g). In addition, AirTag

has a function that sounds when you find the attached belongings, but when TimeCapsule is attached, the sound from AirTag is attenuated by about one third.

Nevertheless, ElevationLab recommends having a TimeCapsule with an AirTag attached in your car, motorcycle, snowmobile, travel carry case, camera bag, or other expensive products. The Verge, an overseas media outlet, states that 'TimeCapsule also helps camouflage AirTag because at first glance it looks like external storage rather than a tracking device.'



Time Capsule can be purchased from Elevation Lab's official page or Amazon.com for $19.99 (about 3,100 yen). It is also available on Amazon.co.jp, but at the time of writing, it was displayed as 'Currently out of stock' and could not be purchased.
