Ratings and reviews

The charger is accurate and very reliable. However, in full 15 amp charge mode. it does run fairly warm to hot. When this is the case, make certain that there is plenty of ventilation around the charger. After several years of use, the app is not user-friendly when viewing the historic page. Maybe because I'm using an older version without being able to update beyond firmware v3.21

App is ok. Biggest complaints are with latest version that you trends settings are not stored (so always need to select from dropdowns what you want to see), and its difficult sending an email from the app to send to support (like with this bug). Yes, you can initiate a support email, but it doest provide an email address to send to. Also, not able to copy the serial number from within the app (field is not a textbox, so you need to remember or write down)

Really wish this app could continue gathering data in the background. Right now, if you switch away from it to another app — even to answer a phone call — you lose the trend history and have to stay over. Really wish this app were enabled for Android Auto, so that I could see the battery stats on my car display while driving. Really wish there were a way to export the accumulated trend data, so that I could analyze it later and/or send it to experts to help diagnose a problem.
