PackScope PackScope

Read Makita batteries on your computer, through your PocketOBI.

Every reading saved, a history per pack, and the same verdict and repair wizard on a bigger screen.

What it adds to the device

  • A history per pack. Every reading goes into a local file on your computer. Nothing leaves your machine.
  • CSV export and a JSON report you share only if you choose to.
  • The same verdict and repair wizard, ported from the firmware so the two always agree.
  • A demo mode with sample packs, to try it before you own a PocketOBI.

It connects to PocketOBI in PC bridge mode over USB. If it can't see the device, the bridge troubleshooting steps cover it.
