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)

The one thing this app is absolutely missing is the ability to export the charge history. Every time I minimize the app it disconnects from BT and restarts the data collection. It would be great if I could just look at the log file at the end of the day and calculate from it the amount of energy taken in. But there doesn't seem to be one or even the option to save it.
