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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamless), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **App-connected Tool Batteries:** The trend of app-connected tool batteries allows for improved monitoring, labeling, and security of batteries on construction sites and personal projects. - **Battery Tracking and Security:** The trend of battery tracking and security provides a means to easily monitor, disable, and set boundaries for batteries, reducing the risk of theft and increasing safety. - **Remote Battery Control:** The trend of remote battery control enables users to remotely disable batteries and set time limits, improving security and preventing unauthorized use. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** The construction industry can leverage the trend of app-connected tool batteries and battery tracking to enhance site security and prevent battery theft. - **Power Tools:** The power tool industry can benefit from the trend of battery tracking and security by offering app-connected batteries that provide enhanced user control and safety. - **Smart Home:** The smart home industry can explore the trend of remote battery control to create integrated systems that allow users to manage batteries for both home and personal projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bluetooth-Connected Rotary Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-rotary-tool.md) - [Heavy-Duty Battery-Powered Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-power-tools.md) - [Anti-Theft eBike Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosch-battery-lock.md) - [Connected Maker Screwdrivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-control-electric-screwdriver.md) - [Battery-Powered Lawn Care Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dck-tools.md) - [Low Battery Alerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discharge-battery-warning.md) - [Rugged Outdoor Power Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-power-equipment.md) - [Workplace Safety-Enhancing Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toolbox-talks-app.md) - [Professional-Grade Cable Hanger Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cable-hanger-system.md)
