Elevation Lab accessory extends AirTag 2 battery life to 10 years
Key points
- AirTag 2 maintains a one-year battery life.
- Elevation Lab's case extends battery life to 10+ years.
- The accessory uses two AA batteries.
- It adds bulk to the AirTag device.
AirTag Battery Life Extension
The AirTag 2, released this year, features upgrades in range and speaker loudness but retains the original model's approximate one-year battery life. Unlike many other Apple devices, AirTags do not have rechargeable batteries, requiring annual replacement of their internal power source.
Elevation Lab's Solution
Elevation Lab offers an extended battery case that increases the AirTag's operational life to 10 years or more. This accessory is compatible with both AirTag 1 and AirTag 2 models. Users install their AirTag into the case and add two AA batteries, which provides a 14x increase in battery capacity.
Trade-offs and Alternatives
The primary drawback of the Elevation Lab battery case is the additional bulk it adds to the AirTag. However, for applications where a compact size is not critical, this may not be an issue. Elevation Lab also provides a more compact version of the case that offers a five-year battery life for users prioritizing a smaller form factor.
