Received the latest Lidl e-mail DIY section update. Apparently, I need a their Parkside App to get the most from their Smart Batteries and which I can charge via Wi-Fi.

Don't know how I have managed to survive by just charging my batteries until the light went green then using them.

Had no idea my life needed to be so connected.

The app thing is a DIY version of those introduced by the pro tools brands, so a building company might have many batteries to keep track of between their people and want to know which ones are still holding their charge or are coming to end of life.
My neighbour says he can check all his battery 'fuel tank gauges' before taking them out on a job, or tweak the 20% discharge limit to extend their life, and can disable them if they get stolen. Don't think Lidl sells many batteries into that market though!]]>
