Elevation Lab AirTag 10-Year Battery Case - TimeCapsule - Over 14x More Capacity Than CR2032 | IP69 Waterproof, Uses AA Batteries, Patented

Excellent product. Solid design, great build quality, and clean aesthetic. Forms a watertight seal with the gasket. The hex screws make it hard to identify, which is ideal. Great to stash in a vehicle for when you forget where you parked. The housing slightly reduces the sound from the ping locator, but that’s not its main purpose. Best used as a discreet locator for valuable packages or luggage. Very pleased overall.Only concern is potential battery leakage. So use high-quality, leakproof long-life batteries. Buy Energizer AA Ultimate Lithium (2 Battery Count)

This is an excellent solution for someone with AirTags stashed all over the place! It got really old doing the rounds of changing the batteries in the AirTags for all my camera equipment and luggage. Batteries are supposed to last "up to" a year, but I'm typically seeing just 6 - 9 months on average.Enter the Elevation Labs battery pack. This device promises a 10-year battery life for your AirTags for just the cost of a pair of AA batteries (plus the device, of course). I don't know yet if I'll get the full 10 years, but saving me the trouble of disassembling my gear every few months is well worth the gamble.These are very easy to assemble: just remove the backing off your AirTag, remove the coin battery, and install the main unit directly into the battery pack, add a couple AA batteries, and seal it up for 10 years with the included screws and Allen wrench. Tip: use the "long shelf life" alkaline batteries, as a minimum. For even longer life (and to reduce the risk of batteries leaking or corroding over time), upgrade to "lithium" batteries.I ordered extras of these (the 2-pack gives a good discounted price) and installed them deep inside my luggage and backpack where they will be hard for a thief to find and impossible to get lost. Bonus: they are the exact dimension of the space between the two legs of my luggage handle, so fit perfectly inside the bag. With a little 2-sided tape, or one of the install kits offered by Elevation Lab, and these are "in there for good"!So far, I give these guys full marks for a well-designed and easy to use device that has the potential to make a huge difference down the road. I'll check back in after 5- and 10 years to let you know if they're still doing the job, LOL.

Good, well made, solid product.I took the additional measure of removing the speaker from my Apple AirTag. You can find many videos on YouTube on how to do that. It is really simple. Now I have a silent tracking device for my campervan.The only thing I would have liked to see different maybe is adding 2 screw holes for easy attachment to a surface. Now I have to glue it. Not a big thing, but maybe something for a future improved version.

I do really like this product overall, especially the waterproof gasket and use of 4 hex screws to secure it together tightly. I can tell this was a thought out device - the one thing I am surprised it does not have is a carabiner style or keyhole style cutout added somewhere to the device so I can clip this to things like the inside of my duffle bag, stroller, etc. Add a way to clip this product onto things, and this would have a perfect 5 star in my book! That being said, I don't think the lack of this should prevent anyone from getting one today and finding their own solution to attach it to something.

The AirTags have a decent enough battery life, but if you have a need for something even longer, these should work well.The main criticism I see about this is the size and whether the case affects detection range or muffles the noise of the AirTag when you trigger the speaker from your phone. Here's what I observed:The size of this is about the same as a toy harmonica. They have to use two AA batteries (Energizer lithium are the best choice) for super long operating life. They say 10 years - based upon the capacity of the CR2032 vs the two AA batteries, this works out on paper, so we'll see. I've has a couple going now for two months and they are still going great.The clamshell that holds the AirTag has a rubber gasket and is sealed with four torx-type bolts. There is nothing on the case that can be used to help affix it to an object which is a bit disappointing. The case also does not reveal what it is either. You can assemble one of these in a minute or two, it's very easy: Pop the back off the AirTag and remove the battery. Put the AirTag on the round connector. Put in two AA batteries. Close the case and screw in the 4 bolts.A cannot attest to how well it prevents water intrusion, but it is far better than the AirTag itself. The company that makes these has been making AirTag holders and protective devices for bikes and scooters for a while, and the case is pretty tough.I can hear the AirTag quite clearly , even in the case. The sound seems to resonate pretty well. It's ever so slightly quieter than a bare AirTag. Range was surprisingly good. Sitting on a countertop, I was able to detect it with my phone's finder device from 20+ feet away (a bare AirTag would get up to 30 feet). At 20 feet, the arrow on the phone points directly at it and I had no problem using the phone to find the tag.I use these for my luggage and as a location marker for our two cars. The AirTags in our luggage work great by themselves but the batteries in them typically start to report low power once a trip is underway, which is quite annoying. These should solve that problem. For our cars, wee keep one of these hidden inside. Due to the long battery life, we can hide these quite well in an inaccessible area because we don't have to dig these out every year or two to replace the batteries.Finally, getting a multi-pack can make getting a set of these a pretty good value. The 4-pack I purchased made this quite the deal.See the attached photo to get a good idea as to the size of the item. In the photo is a closed and open case and a Toyota key fob and AirTag for size comparison.
