TimeCapsule: The Ultimate Protection for Your AirTag with a Decade Long Battery

Enhancing Your Apple AirTag Experience: Elevation Lab's TimeCapsule

In an age where tracking your belongings has become essential, the new Elevation Lab TimeCapsule emerges as a game-changer for Apple AirTag users. This innovative protective case turns your standard AirTag into a robust, waterproof, and dustproof tracker, complete with a remarkable ten-year battery life.

Key Features of the TimeCapsule

• Durability: The TimeCapsule is constructed from fiber reinforced polycarbonate, ensuring it won’t interfere with your Bluetooth or UWB signals, as confirmed by Elevation Lab’s Casey Hopkins.
• Water and Dust Protection: With an impressive IP69 rating, this case is designed to withstand extreme conditions, making it ideal for outdoor adventures or everyday use in challenging environments.
• Extended Battery Life: Replace your AirTag’s CR2032 coin cell battery with the TimeCapsule’s electrical contacts and a pair of AA batteries for a lifespan of up to a decade.

Pricing and Availability

The TimeCapsule is currently available for purchase at a price of $19.99. Additionally, you can buy a pair for $29.99 or take advantage of the discounted four-pack option for $39.99.

Considerations and Tradeoffs

While the TimeCapsule offers numerous benefits, there are a few tradeoffs to consider:

• Weight: Weighing in at 3.5 ounces with batteries, the TimeCapsule is significantly heavier than a standard AirTag, which weighs just 0.39 ounces.
• Volume Reduction: The case does muffle the AirTag’s chirping sound by about two-thirds, which may hinder its locatability by ear.

However, for those who prioritize a long-lasting tracking solution over slight increases in weight and sound volume, the TimeCapsule presents a compelling option.

Battery Recommendations

To maximize the efficiency and lifespan of your TimeCapsule, Elevation Lab recommends using Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAs. These batteries are known for their reliability and resistance to leaks and corrosion. Alternatively, nickel–metal hydride batteries can be used, although they may not provide the same longevity.

Conclusion

The Elevation Lab TimeCapsule is a thoughtful solution for individuals seeking a durable and long-term tracking option for their Apple AirTag. With its protective features and extended battery life, it redefines the way you can use your AirTag for tracking valuable possessions. Whether you’re dealing with the rigors of outdoor environments or simply want peace of mind knowing your tracker can withstand the elements, the TimeCapsule is worth considering.
