Chipolo has announced the launch of its first rechargeable Bluetooth trackers, the Loop and Card, which can last up to six months on a single charge. These new devices eliminate the need for battery replacements, offering a more convenient tracking solution.
The Loop and Card are compatible with Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find My Device networks and will join Chipolo’s existing lineup, which includes the colorful Pop trackers released earlier this year.
Available for preorder at $39, the Loop features a design similar to Apple’s AirTag, complete with a chunky silicone ring for easy attachment to keys, bags, and more. It comes in several colors: white, black, navy, pink, yellow, and mint green. The Card, on the other hand, is a gray, credit card-shaped tracker that fits easily into wallets or phone cases.

Both trackers can be recharged, with the Loop using USB-C and the Card compatible with Qi wireless chargers. However, users will need to provide their own USB-C cables and Qi chargers, as these are not included.
In addition to their charging methods, the Loop and Card differ in volume output when alerting users to their location: the Card reaches 110 dB, while the Loop can go up to 125 dB. Both trackers boast a Bluetooth range of 400 feet, surpassing the 200-300 feet range of Chipolo’s Pop model. They also have an IP67 rating, making them resistant to dust and water, and can withstand submersion in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes.
