Nomad has announced an upgraded version of its wallet tracking card, featuring a significant improvement in battery life. The new Tracking Card Pro can operate for up to 16 months on a full charge, a notable increase from the standard model’s five-month battery life.
Priced at $39, the Tracking Card Pro offers the extended battery life, though with a slightly increased thickness of 2.5mm compared to its predecessor’s 1.7mm. Despite the thicker profile, the new card remains substantially thinner than Apple’s AirTags at 8mm. Constructed with a polycarbonate body and exposed aluminum edges, the Tracking Card Pro weighs 15 grams.
Retaining the same functionality as the previous model, the Tracking Card Pro is compatible with Apple’s Find My network, emitting audible alerts within 150 feet proximity. It supports wireless charging and can adhere to MagSafe or Qi2-compatible magnetic charging pads despite lacking built-in magnets.
While the enhanced battery life is a notable improvement, Pebblebee’s Card 5 wallet tracker, priced at $34.99, offers a thinner profile at 1.74mm, support for both Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find Hub networks, and up to 18 months of battery life with wireless charging.
