    yes.
    but in theory, as they are all in parallel, they would read the same voltage.

    Yes as Eevo says, as they’re directly connected next to each other and not ever separated, it’s pointless. They can never read differently as while connected together, each one levels itself with its friends. It makes sense when there is a source of isolation between them such as a Traxide, or a camper that’s detached from the main vehicle. Place one in each segment, say crank battery, fridge battery on other side of isolator, and one across the camper/house/caravan whatever you want to call them

    Chinese battery monitoring !

    Not being paranoid or anything, but these things are made in China. Is the Chinese Politbureau using them to plan a global Landy shutdown, or to discover our secret fishing spots, per the recent Huawei incidents ? They probably don’t realize that Landies can easily be pushed if they sabotage our batteries ...

    i would like to know how the device could be used to sabotage.

    I just bought 4 of these:

    Installed 1 in the FFR
    1 in the D1
    1 in the Rangie

    Will probably install the last one in the 101...

    It would be great if you could monitor more than 4...

    Hi,
    Mine arrived yesterday.
    It has problems on the Galaxy Tablet. It won't reconnect after the tablet gets out of range.
    On an Oppo phone it works as expected,
    Cheers
    Edit.
    Grrrr!
    Now it has frozen and won't update the Voltage.

    Edit.
    App requires Android 4.3, mine is 4.4.2, so that is not the problem.

    Installed 3 yesterday, 1 in the camper, 1 on the cranker, and 1 on the auxiliary.
    I think it's helped to diagnose a problem with the camper fridge. As expected, the voltage drops when the fridge compressor kicks in. However, it seems to be working the opposite to what it should. I see occasion voltage spikes, instead if drops, which looks like the fridge is running most of the time, and only occasionally turning off. It has been warm weather (about 30 degrees), but the fridge is in a fairly cool location, and rarely opened.

    Also be aware, the lower the battery voltage, the longer the fridge will run for.

    Hi,
    Well a different app has sort of solved the problem.
    The AEG app, by the same company as make the BM2 app will run on the Samsung Galaxy, although with less features.
    It seems to not be able to access the Voltage history log from the Battery Monitor, only showing what is recorded in real time.
    It is not a show stopper, I can check the current voltage as I want, and pinch the Mrs' phone if I need to check history.
    Incidentally, the Battery monitor will only pair with one phone/tablet at a time.
    Cheers
