    I own and use several Chipolo tags, but their normal ones with replaceable batteries. They work, but I don’t know how I feel about tags that have non-removable batteries. The first Tile trackers were like that, and they just end up as e-waste as the battery degrades.

      Their previous model for the card shaped one had a non-replaceable and non-rechargeable battery

        That’s awful.

        I remember the first Tile I got used a “replacable” battery, but it had to go back to Tile so they could do it.

        It must have been unsustainable, because newer models had user replacable batteries.

        That said, coin cell batteries can be really thin, and I’d get one of these card shaped trackers if they used one, even if a little thicker.
