## What is BatteryBuddy?

BatteryBuddy is the simple battery-safety tracker every parent needs.

Button batteries — the tiny coin-shaped cells in remotes, musical toys, hearing aids and gadgets — send thousands of children to the ER every year. A single loose battery can cause severe burns within hours. BatteryBuddy makes it effortless to know exactly where every battery in your home is, and warns you the moment one's been left out too long.

Designed for busy parents. No accounts. No ads. No data collection.

KEY FEATURES

• One-tap toggle — mark a battery as in or out the second you change it
• Smart alerts — get a notification if a battery has been out longer than your threshold (set per toy, from minutes to days)
• QR code scanner — print a QR for each toy, scan it to flip the battery status hands-free
• At-a-glance dashboard — see how many toys are tracked, how many batteries are out, and any active warnings on one screen
• Active alerts list — never lose track of overdue batteries
• Safety hub — direct one-tap access to the National Battery Ingestion Hotline (1-800-498-8666) with a parental confirmation gate, plus expert safety tips
• Offline-friendly — your toy list is cached so you can check status anywhere

WHY BATTERYBUDDY?

Most parents discover a missing battery only after a child has already swallowed one. By that point, irreversible damage can be done in under two hours. BatteryBuddy turns battery awareness into a tiny daily ritual: change a battery, tap the toy. That's it. The app does the watching for you.

PRIVACY-FIRST

BatteryBuddy was built by parents, not by an ad-tech company. We do not require an account. We do not collect analytics. We do not share your data with anyone. The only thing we sync is a single anonymous push token, used solely to send you safety alerts.

For emergencies, always call 911 first, then the National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 1-800-498-8666. BatteryBuddy is a tool to support — not replace — your judgment.
