Abstract

The disclosure relates to an electrical device having a control unit. A near field communication device connected to the control unit is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical device comprising:
a control unit;
a near field communication device connected to the control unit; and
a housing having an inner surface and an outer surface, the near field communication device being positioned on the inner surface, a marker being arranged on the outer surface at a location where the near field communication device is positioned on the inner surface;
wherein the electrical device is an energy storage module for a hand power tool, the energy storage module having an energy store; and
the control unit is configured to (i) record status parameters from the energy store and (ii) make the status parameters available for reading via the near field communication device.

2. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the electrical device is a power tool; and
the control unit is configured to at least one of:
record status parameters from the power tool and make the status parameters available for reading via the near field communication device;
receive operating parameters via the near field communication device and control the power tool according to the operating parameters.

3. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the near field communication device and the control unit are connected to a memory that is readable and writable.

4. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein the near field communication device is configured to read an NFC tag.
