Elevation Lab's 10-year extended battery case for AirTag is back on sale for $16

Source: Engadget

Overview

If you’re an iPhone user who likes to keep tabs on where your stuff is, the AirTag is a solid choice. The second‑gen model outpaces the original in every way (aside from the lack of a keyring hole). While the battery in both versions is easy to replace, you might prefer not to worry about the device’s battery life for a very long time. Elevation Lab’s extended‑battery case for the AirTag is currently on sale on Amazon for $16 (regularly $23, a ~30 % discount).

Features

• Extended battery life: When fitted with a pair of AA batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are recommended), the case can extend the tracker’s battery life to as much as 10 years. The AirTag itself runs for over a year on its standard CR2032 button cell.
• Waterproof protection: The case is sealed with four screws and carries an IP69 waterproof rating.
• Discreet design: It does not look like a typical AirTag case, which may make it less obvious to a thief that the item is being tracked.

Pros

• Ideal for placing the AirTag in a suitcase or backpack where you won’t need to access it for years.
• Provides robust protection against water and physical damage.
• Long‑term battery solution reduces the need for frequent replacements.

Cons

• Bulkier: Not suitable for wallets or keyrings; the case is too large for those use cases and lacks a keyring hole.
• Muffled sound: With the AirTag locked inside, the audible alert is reduced to about two‑thirds the volume of a case‑free AirTag. The louder second‑gen AirTag helps mitigate this issue somewhat.

Pricing

• Current price: $16 on Amazon (down from $23).
• Discount: Approximately 30 % off the regular price.
