Glad I can change the while more easily, but an equally important thing it doesn’t do is reset your timer, which is also time consuming from the battery. Maybe a way to do that would improve the app function a ton! Thanks
Worked for a couple weeks and now it won’t connect

When the app did work it was amazing. I could easily change give with the egive function and go from line work to shading without changing my machines.Since the last firmware update neither of my lightning bolt battery packs will connect to the app and the Bluetooth won’t shut off. With Bluetooth on the battery charge dies much quicker. I’ve reached out to the company many times about this issue (both Darklab and fk irons) and the only response that I have received is “the issue should be fixed in a week or two”. That was 4 months ago. I like the products this company makes but it also feels like their tech department likes to make flashy videos more than working software.
Batteries die constantly after Bluetooth connect

My Flux batteries used to last a day or two without charging, once updated and trying to use the app they now die very quickly, like 4 to 6 hours of use. The app has never functioned properly for me. I’m planning to call FK and see if there is a way to turn the Bluetooth off completely. I miss the way the machine used to work.
It will kill your battery
princessoop95
I tried to connect and update my battery and now it blinks with a blue light when turning on and last no where near what it used to. I’ve had times where I charge the battery all the way and it will die two seconds after I turn it on. This is ridiculous DO NOT USE THIS APP. There is nothing useful on it, it was severely rushed, and it ruins your battery.
Refined to offer improved compatibility and enhanced performance with PowerBolt 2.0
