The old Battery-Guard:

intAct's Battery-Guard was first launched on the market in 2015 and was revised in 2017. The app that works with this version is called "intAct Battery-Guard". This app has a limited range of functions and can only display the battery voltage.

What to do if you have an old Battery-Guard and an Android device?

Android users who purchased an old Battery-Guard after 01.01.2023 can receive a free upgrade to the new Battery-Guard until 31.12.2024. Simply send us a photo of your proof of purchase to shop@intact-batterien.de and we will send you the new device free of charge.

For Apple users: The "intAct Battery-Guard" app can still be used on iPhones and is available in the Apple Store.
