Elevation Lab AirTag (Gen 1 & 2) 10-Year Extended Battery...

Most Helpful Review

"I didn’t see a lot of reviews for this product so I thought I’d give it the review it deserves.June 15, 2025:Batteries are set to expire December 2050.Expected run time, without battery replacement, is 10 years, per the description.Honestly I would be happy just to not have to replace the batteries every 6-12 months which was my selling point.Yes, the device is larger than expected if you cannot gauge it from the product photos. AA batteries are not small when you want something combined to an Apple AirTag with a waterproof housing.If you want something that will be extremely reliable, than this is it. But if you want something more discrete, they sell IPXX rated, magnetic/adhesive cases that are small.4 units for $30 is a good price for the quality of the product. The rubber seals look extremely premium. They remind me of the rubber seals we had on U.S. Navy vessels for water tight integrity on door and latches. The grooves on the lid are nice and smooth, which in turn won’t damage the gasket seal. The plastic feels and looks premium as well. There are no injection mold lines/creases. There is an injection scar on the side of each assembly. The thing you’re looking for is uniformity of the plastic. No ripples, waves, and looks and feels smooth and uniform, that’s a major sign of excellent quality. That is 5/5 Stars.I like the fact that all the screws and the allen key is in one bag. I don’t want to have to disassemble it and then reassemble it. Assembling is extremely easy and absolutely perfect. Using allen screws is ideal from an engineering perspective. You get better and balanced leverage when creating the seal on the lid. It’s easy to remove anything.Functionally and practically:I put this in my carry on luggage. I used double sided adhesive strips to permanently place it. I don’t want it rolling around. I have another in my backpack which I intend to use adhesive velcro to hide it.The overall weight and dimensions, when fully installed, is nothing noticeable. It’s like holding a standard Snicker’s bar in your hand. If you’re on the fence about it, go to the gas station and that’s what you’re buying in size, just a little thinner and less healthy.Utilization:Works exactly as normal. It does not dilute the sound when you active the speaker. Using the search function with the distance and compass in FindMy works normally without fault.I haven’t tried the waterproof function, but considering the build, material, and quality, I would have unwavering faith this would not fail either. We’re not taking this thing to Titanic level depths, but I think if this thing fell into a 10 foot pool, was placed at the bottom, it would still go to the surface and end up as a floater.Conclusion:I wished I found these a long time ago. I could have saved so much money. This is a great long term investment. If they could make a line up of different versions and sizes, it would be phenomenal.I have over a dozen AirTags for different uses and purposes. I have a lot of them for my Milwaukee Packouts and this is an incredible device for what I need. Protecting your investments is critical.There are some compromises you might need to make, but having something last potentially for a decade for $10 ($7.50 for case and $2.50 for batteries) is priceless."
