Disappointed in Litime battery App.

[robmcqueen]

Just Installed 2 new Litime batteries and brought them to full charge. Using the app for the batteries found out that if the draw on the batteries is less then 1.5 amps the app will not read it and the battery % will stay at 100. If you have 2 batteries then the draw need to be over 3 amps because it will pull 1.5 amp from each battery. A lot of the thing we use in the trailer draw less then that like led light. This make the app about useless except for reading the temp of the battery. I do have a shunt that reads the lower amp draws so i am ok. I left some low amp things on in the trailer overnight and in the morning the app still read 100% but my shunt read 94% Very disappointing.

Agreed, glad you have the shunt.

I have two new LiTime batteries 280 amps each and my LiTime app is a joke, sometimes it works but it’s terribly unreliable however reading your report on not registering low amp loads does explain some of my issues.
Has anyone found a compatible app that can down load the LiTime BMS?
I may have to add a smart shunt from Victron.
