Chipolo key finders use batteries with bitter taste
These coin batteries are ringed with a circle-shaped layer of Bitrex, the bitterest substance known to man.
Let’s see what they have in common first – they’ve both been discontinued and replaced with the newer, better, louder Chipolo ONE!
The new Chipolo ONE key finder combines the best features of the Chipolo CLASSIC and PLUS into one improved tracking tag.
Scroll down to learn more about the differences between Chipolo PLUS and CLASSIC or keep on reading to find out about the new Chipolo ONE.
Chipolo ONE key finder with improvements & a new feature!
The ONE kept all the popular features of the CLASSIC and PLUS so it's still IPX5 water-resistant, you can still share it with your family and friends, and it will still find your phone too.
At the same time, we improved its core features and also added a great new one!
Improved: A louder sound
The melody goes up to 120dB, so you’ll have no problem hearing it from another room or from inside your bag.
You can even change the ringtone to one of the other 6 ringtones available if you think you’ll be able to hear one of those better.
Improved: A replaceable battery with longer battery life
The battery in the latest Chipolo key finder is still replaceable and will last up to 2 years!
The ONE uses a standard coin battery, model CR2032 that is available online and in most stores that offer AA batteries.
And it only takes 3 simple steps to replace:
- Use your fingernails or insert a smaller tool into the gap on the side of the Chipolo and carefully open the device.
- Replace the battery with a new CR2032 battery, placing the battery positive side up.
- Close your Chipolo by aligning the top holes on both lids.
NEW! A new feature that reminds you if you ever leave your keys behind.
Out of Range Alerts - Never leave your keys behind
Chipolo ONE is the finder with a reminder!
Chipolo Alerts will ping your phone and display a notification on your screen when you leave your keys, phone or wallet behind.
The alerts use a combination of Bluetooth and other technologies already inside your phone to check if your keys are with you every time your phone is on the move. The alerts trigger with a short delay, so you really only get notified when you leave something behind, and not every time you change rooms.
The new Chipolo ONE has the alerts enabled by default, but they can also be used with the Chipolo CARD wallet finder and the previous models of Chipolo CLASSIC and PLUS.
With no extra cost or monthly subscriptions!
What model is my Chipolo?
There are a few subtle differences between the 3 key finders that can help you tell them apart.
Chipolo ONE has slightly rounded edges and the speaker hole is located at the side of the key finder.
Chipolo PLUS is a little bigger in size and has 3 tiny speaker holes on the back, at the bottom.
Chipolo CLASSIC has a small speaker hole in the last 'o' of the 'Chipolo' logo on the front and a tiny oblong groove on the side where you can open your Chipolo to replace the battery.
