Revolutionizing AirTag Functionality: Elevation Lab’s TimeCapsule
Elevation Lab has introduced a groundbreaking accessory for the Apple AirTag, known as the TimeCapsule, which significantly enhances its battery lifespan and provides waterproof protection. This innovative case is designed to house your AirTag along with two AA batteries, eliminating the need for any internal modifications. Users simply need to detach the backplate of their AirTag and replace its original coin cell battery before securing it within the TimeCapsule. While this upgrade increases size and weight—which may not be suitable for all personal items—it’s particularly beneficial for larger objects like automobiles or hefty luggage.
Simplified Management of Multiple AirTags
According to Elevation Lab’s announcement, employing the TimeCapsule can streamline how users manage several AirTags simultaneously. Gone are the days of needing annual battery replacements to ensure reliable performance in tracking lost belongings. It’s worth noting that how long you can rely on this setup will largely depend on your choice of batteries—periodic maintenance involves unscrewing the case to refresh them when necessary.
Optimal Battery Recommendations
The preferred option suggested by Elevation Lab is Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, operating at 1.5V each with a remarkable capacity exceeding 3,000mAh. This specific combination allows an AirTag to function effectively for nearly ten years without interruption. While other brands of AA batteries can certainly be utilized with this case, their efficacy may vary based on individual specifications and quality.
A Cost Perspective
The overall investment in this enhanced tracking solution will rely on your selected battery type; however, purchasing the TimeCapsule alone costs approximately $20, making it a relatively affordable enhancement considering its extensive longevity benefits.
