This new technology from DEWALT is perfect for all tradesmen, both specialist and large contractors. You can use this app to monitor and manage all your compatible batteries and assets. The system will Bluetooth sync the battery on the power tool/asset to your phone, desktop or tablet device for you to have full control and knowledge of the status of your property. Compatible with all 18V XR tools. The list of functions that this innovative system has:
- MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR BATTERY
Remote monitoring of the charging level, activating, or deactivating batteries. If you lend a battery, you can even control the pack usage time.
- REAL-TIME BATTERY DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics of the application allow you to determine whether your battery is too cold or too hot to run properly. They can also notify you when the battery is charged or discharged.
- CUSTOMISED NOTIFICATIONS AND ALERTS
If you lend your battery, the "lend" function allows configuring the battery to deactivate after a pre-set period or when at a certain distance.
The lending function is also very effective for security, as you can set up a virtual fence to get notifications when equipment goes out of range. When out of range the tool will disable and you can see the last location where the tool was used. This is also handy when you have lost/misplaced a tool to locate it.
Ideal for a large workforce to monitor usage, when they go out of range, and if a battery needs changing when the power is low – across multiple job sites. There is also an Inventory Manager Portal to record who has checked in/out what tool that day.
