Love this remote Bluetooth battery monitoring

Brian, your cranking battery might just be on the way out. They just do that. No warning, no rhyme or reason.

Just over 13.8 volts is the maximum I get while driving in my D3 and 14.3 volts on the charger.

It is commonplace in D4s to still get a “Low Battery, Start Motor” message, even though the cranking battery is fully charged.

Try doing a HARD RESET and see if this fixes the problem.

Again, post up your battery voltage readings.

Yesterday’s readings (crank battery only) . Shows trickle charge going for s drive and then idle.

I did a hard reset (removed negative terminal for 15 mins) and the message went away but surely this is not requiredhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f0b8fff9bf.jpg

Aux has been disconnected

Hi Brian and this is something that only seems to occur in D4s, and randomly.

I first came across UK D4 owners having to resort to a hard reset after charging the cranking battery, but it is only required in some D4s.

My guess is it is some sort of software glitch.

So my apps says battery is at 98% at 12.46v. Do these two values really correlate as true ?

12.38 volts on mine was about 65%.

Have a look at the state of charge "resting" chart in Post 26 from Tim (Traxide)

Traxide Dual Battery Voltages

Bought three units off ebay

galaxyS10. Android 9. 4.9 bluetooth 5

Monitor unit asks for Bluetooth pairing code, none on instructions, guessed it, 000000.

unit pairs with phone

BM2 app. Monitor will not connect with phone

BM3 app. As above.

guessing software compatability issue.

Anyone else?

Works as advertised on my ipad mini app!
Works ok on my samsung tablet !

im loving mine less. another unit failed. second unit in 6 months. i got 4 total.

Hi Eevo, what is happening when it fails?

I have one that intermittently stops monitoring and then starts again.

first one was erratic voltage readings. showed anywhere between 15 and 30 volts while connected to the 12v motorcycle
second one has simply stopped responding. BM2 and BM3 cant find it. i tried physically disconnecting it, waiting 1min and reconnecting it. no joy.
