Hey Guys im a ridgid User and have many many batteries. I haven't had trouble with the octane connecting. out of the 13 octane batteries I've had only 1 had trouble. Well I got lil trick. install it and reinstall app. when you start the app. instead of putting your ridgid ID or account skip it. for some reason it bypasses whatever keeps it from connecting. I don't buy retail. there are alot of sellers out there. don't by retail. I got almost 30 batteries for half price. just research.

My experience is that it is very difficult to pair the batteries at all. And if you don't open up the app every time your at the jobsite it doesn't connect to the ones you do get paird up. So if you want to locate a battery it shows you the last place you successfully connected to it was. The application has some huge potential but until it is streamlined I think the batteries are over priced due to the Bluetooth technology that is sketchy at best.

Some of the reviews I'm reading are hilarious! You cannot use the GPS to track your battery it has to be near your phone in order for the GPS to work, kind of pointless. I left my batteries at home today and while I was at work I tried to turn the batteries off (4 miles away)and it wouldn't work, the only way I could turn them off was if I was in Bluetooth range which is kind of pointless. It would work awesome if you saw someone steal a battery and take off running with it then you could turn the battery off but then again that's pointless.
