Your AirTag's Battery Will Last for Up to 10 Years With Elevation Lab's New TimeCapsule Enclosure

Elevation Lab today announced the launch of TimeCapsule, an innovative and simple solution for increasing the battery life of Apple's AirTag.

Priced at $20, TimeCapsule is an ‌AirTag‌ enclosure that houses two AA batteries that offer 14x more battery capacity than the CR2032 battery that the ‌AirTag‌ runs on. It works by attaching the ‌AirTag‌'s upper housing to the built-in custom contact in the TimeCapsule, which provides power instead of the coin cell battery.

The enclosure then screws shut, and it can be tucked away in a vehicle, luggage, camera bag, or other expensive item. The case has IP69 waterproofing that's able to withstand exposure to water and dust in harsh environments, so it can be used outdoors.

TimeCapsule does add additional weight and size to the ‌AirTag‌ because it needs to house AA batteries, but it's still slim enough to fit well in bags without adding too much bulk. The setup measures in at 4.45 inches by 1.57 inches, and it's 0.75 inches thick. The enclosure is nondescript, though, so if something containing the TimeCapsule is stolen, the thief isn't likely to know what it is.

The TimeCapsule can be purchased for $20 from the Elevation Lab website or from Amazon.

Not with Energizer batteries. They leak and the warranty is garbage.
If you look closely these are lithium batteries. They don't leak (not even the ones from Energizer ;)).

That's cool, but lets just charge the next AirTag on an Apple Watch charger

Isn't the point of Airtags that it's small and easy to attach to keyrings, luggage, and the like?

Why would you need to add an enormous case like that? I can only see a few uses where it would be perhaps a good idea. One would be for vehicle tracking.
This extends the AirTags to use cases where the longer battery life is more important than the portability. It looks like a great product.

The AirTag design doesn't change so people who don't need the extra runtime that this affords don't have to use this product.

Or one could just change the regular battery once every year.
