The AirTag Battery Mod That Lasts a Decade

If you’ve owned AirTags for a while, you know the pain. They always seem to die right when you need them the most. And unless you happen to have a CR2032 battery lying around, you’re out of luck. That’s the exact problem I decided to fix once and for all.

After getting fed up for the last time, I picked up a little package that completely changes the game. It set me back $70 Canadian, but honestly, it’s worth every cent.

I bought a 4 pack

What’s in the Box

The Time Capsule AirTag Case. comes with everything you need to swap your AirTag from disposable button batteries to something way more practical. I grabbed four of them because I use AirTags on basically everything, but even one will save you a ton of battery hassle.

Inside the package is the replacement housing, waterproof seal, screws, and battery compartment. The magic is that it runs on AAA batteries, the kind you can find anywhere.

How It Works

The installation is dead simple:

  1. Open the kit.

  2. Remove your AirTag’s annoying little CR2032 battery.

  3. Pop the AirTag into the new housing.

  4. Insert the AAA batteries.

  5. Put the lid on and screw it in place.

That’s it. No soldering. No complicated steps. Just a quick swap and you’re good to go.

Why This is a Game-Changer

The Time Capsule AirTag Case completely changes how I use AirTags. Instead of swapping out coin batteries every few months, the AAA batteries inside this case can last up to 10 years.

It’s also fully waterproof, so I don’t have to worry about rain, snow, or splashes ruining it. And since it uses AAA batteries, I can replace them anywhere, anytime, without ordering anything online.

Final Thoughts

Is $70 Canadian a lot for an AirTag accessory? Absolutely. But for a decade of hassle-free use, I think it’s worth every cent. The Time Capsule AirTag Case has already saved me from a few “dead battery” disasters, and I’m never going back. If you’re tired of AirTags dying at the worst times, this is the fix you’ve been waiting for. It’s not the cheapest accessory, but the time and stress it saves make it worth it.

My AirTag used to panic at low battery… now it just chills for 10 years.
