Which app works with which device?
Do you have a Battery-Guard from intAct and are wondering which app is compatible with your device? In the following blog post, we explain everything you need to know about the compatibility of the old and new Battery Guard versions with the corresponding apps.
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.
ATTENTION - Important note:
The "intAct Battery-Guard" app has not been compatible with Android or Apple for some time and is therefore no longer available in the Google/Apple Store. There is no longer any support for this app version.
What to do if you have an old Battery Guard and your app no longer works?

Temperature measurement on the battery housing:
Monitors the temperature of the battery and can thus inform you before overheating.
Start test:
Checks the performance of the battery when starting the vehicle.
