Wi-Fi/Application Monitoring not working

All instructions followed. The app does not connect to the charger, so control is not possible (the reason I bought this model). Called Revane who contacted DieHard tech support twice. They promised the "person in charge" would call. Never done. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not sure

Great product but little customer support

The charger works great, it was easy to connect to the internet but when I tried to register the product it told me the wrong charger ID or password, called support, they took my number and said , a technician would call me back to reset the ID # and PW It's been over a week now and still no response.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • The list goes on.

Save your money, buy the standard model!

I bought two of these wireless chargers to monitor cars in the parking lot, one for me and the other for my son. My charger lasted a day and I got a notification on my phone that it couldn't connect. This rendered the wireless function useless, my son has the same problem with the charger that he has. You'd be better off buying a standard charger than spending money on a wireless feature.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Empty

App gets the job done well for tools and gear

Works great as a charger/maintenance. Brought a battery back to life and my car starts every morning despite having parasitic traction. The app has been working fine for about a month but now it just says connection error. I've tried reconnecting to WiFi, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, logging out and back in, and unplugging the charger, but it still doesn't work. Haven't found anything about it on the internet. The whole purpose of buying a Wi-Fi connected charger was to control it…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Secret

A really smart battery service technician who follows the best practices for lead acid battery maintenance. It will most likely pay off by conserving the batteries in my vintage cars. Throughout 2019, the WiFi server worked sporadically and completely failed from September 2019 to March 2020, but it's working again, so don't rely on a reliable remote control. Monitoring.Update December 2020 - After several months of downtime, it's working again in mid-December 2020. I'm pretty sure these long…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • ill thought out

The app has been disabled and will never come back. updated.

Terrible experience. When I received it, I couldn't register an account to use the Wi-Fi function. I called the Diehards and they said their app was "not working" and would be fixed within a week. This should have been the wake-up call right here, it NEVER takes a week to fix a software issue. That was three weeks ago, still not working. I will request a refund for the difference between a dumb charger and a smart charger. In fact, it's just a charger, nothing more. For that it works great. To…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I won't say anything
