    I've stopped using mine. The software is installed on my workbench PC, which out of necessity I often need to use for emergency spares for customer machines etc. Even though the mainboard and processor remain the same, if you change your disk or reload Windows NLBA lock my device and I have to request them to unlock it again. They are slow to do this and complain when I make the request. It's a fantastic product, but they need to find a better way to deal with this issue. Until then, I will not be renewing the license.

Ask the user to create an account and associate the user with that license/hardware configuration. Upon logon, the user can update the actual hardware. Limit the update for once a month (for example). Force the software to connect to the internet on startup (or, at least, do it once and keep the licence on cache for a week or so).

    @WFangl 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    Useful but expensive tool - I have mine now since a few months: In most of the times after I tried to recalibrate the old battery, I had to exchange it with a new compatibel one - and one needs to be careful which brand to choose. To repair (cell exchange) is a no go in western (i.e. hight labour costs) countries. No doubt its excellent technology - so I spent the money to exclude a battery defect if a laptop or charging shows issues. No argues about the technical value of the device and the efforts and high skills of its inventor - but in high labour costs countries its obvious that one can´t regain its price. (You might buy it for service reasons if you can/want afford it.) Yes, it makes sense in other countries (low labour costs) were one can operate in a niche market to "repair" and recell old batteries.

    • @nipembedded9976
      @nipembedded9976 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There are many different types of battery defects. We have a lot of customers in the USA, Germany, Uk where labor costs are high. They are not replacing the cells, they are repairing in 3 clicks those batteries that are just over discharged (stored for a long period). There are companies that have thousands of new Genuine batteries just over discharged, paying 269$ for 1 year worth to repair them ? No need to open the battery, no need to replace the cells. According to our logs, our customers repair more than 1000 batteries per year.

  • @flyingtentacle7631
    @flyingtentacle7631 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    Seems pretty pointless ngl. It's still like $300 on their website and even if it was $75, why spend $75 plus the price of a new battery when you can just buy a new battery and be done with the repair. 99% of battery problems are a dead or unbalanced cell, not a controller problem. You can jump the battery with a power supply if you really wanted to be cheap and cause more damage via expanding cells or fire, or just replace it with a good battery for $25-40. Not to mention that bypassing a battery lockout like that will land you in deep legal trouble if you hand it back to a customer like that and it causes any damage. No amount of liability waiver will help you in that case, because you're intentionally, and knowingly bypassing a safety device.
    Not that I'm saying there's a significantly higher risk of issues by doing this, just that all batteries that exist, even brand new ones, have a risk of igniting or exploding. By bypassing their lockout, you are now absorbing all liability if that happens. The new battery might explode as well, but you as a business have done your due diligence and are absolved of liability.

      It looks like you have nothing to do with batteries. Just take a high quality copy battery and open it and take a look inside then we discuss.
      "99% of battery problems are a dead or unbalanced cell, not a controller problem". It makes no sense, a dead or unbalanced issue means by default a PF flag set in the chip so a CHIP issue :)
      Our customers recover the license investment price in just 1 day, yes, 1 day, not 2 or 3. Thanks to NLBA1, thousands of genuine batteries are saved daily from being thrown away and replaced by fake copy "high quality" batteries.

    As I posted in a previous video regarding this device, anything needing a subscription for hardware that one has purchased is just scummy. The way you go overboard to praise it just makes it look like you're being paid to promote it. If they locked the battery data when you purchased it, then sold updates for newer batteries, that's one thing, but to keep demanding money for kit one has already paid for is reprehensible.

    250 USD per year is very expensive and the comments here of buyers are not positive..... Personally I hate hardware with subscriptions. It is a terrible evolution. It's like buying a BMW with heated seats and then paying a subscription to enable the feature. It is very anti-repair in the sense that pro-repair people tend to assume you own the hardware (including the right to repair) after you paid for it.

    While I appreciate the usefulness of this product, the manufacturer's business model is unfair to small businesses and DIY people.

    If there is a option to pay per repair like couple of $ for each unlock, I will still happy to buy the over priced hardware unit and use it.
    At this stage they are ripping off customers due to no competition.
