A 10-Year Battery for AirTag

I'm OK with the One-Year-ish battery life and happy to change them yearly. I try to do them in batches (the fours usually die together within about a month).

The irritating ones are in the bags/check-ins I stashed/stored snugly, and now I have to take them out to replace the battery. Of course, the bearable thing is that the battery lasts for about a month after the warning, so there is that.

I think I'm complaining about something which is not a big deal.

I’m not sure if this much bigger device is any benefit just to make it last 10-years and forget about it.

Well look at in in terms of batteries deposited per year in the landfill: 0.1 or 1.

GAAP requires you to accrue your batteries deposited in landfill, so back to 0.1 per year (/s if not obvious)

Two AA batteries is about 16 cm^3 of waste. 10 CR2032s is about 10 cm^3.

"Number of batteries" is not the right thing to measure. Maybe volume isn't either, but it's got to be closer.
