App-Connected Tool Batteries

The DeWalt Tool Connect App Controls 20V MAX Batteries

— March 24, 2017 — Tech
When on a construction site or working on a big personal project, teams might end up using several tools at once, and the DeWalt Tool Connect app makes it easier to keep batteries safe and secure during such a process. Serving as both a means of security and safety, the app allows users to monitor all of their DeWalt 20V MAX batteries through a single interface.

The DeWalt Tool Connect app can monitor multiple batteries, and it allows users to label them for easy tracking. Plus, if the user loses track of which battery is attached to which tool, they can activate a built in identity light on the battery. The app also allows the use to remotely disable the batteries, set virtual fences outside of which the batteries will not function, or set functional time limits. These features all reduce the risk of theft.
