- Inaccurate charge percentage readings (especially with LiFePo4 batteries):
- The device's default calibration may be optimized for lead-acid batteries. If you are using a LiFePo4 battery, the displayed charge percentage (SOC) might be inaccurate (e.g., 100% battery showing 56%).
- Mentre que el voltage readings should remain accurate, the SOC calculation might not be precise for all battery chemistries.
- No data synchronization:
- Ensure your mobile device is within the 10-meter Bluetooth range of the BM200.
- Data is stored on the device for up to 30 days and will sync automatically once a connection is re-established.
Consells per a l'usuari
- If you are using a LiFePo4 battery, be aware that the displayed charge percentage (SOC) may not be entirely accurate, potentially showing a lower percentage than the actual charge. The voltage readings, however, should still be reliable.
- For optimal performance and to access new features, regularly update the ANCEL BM200 app and check for any available firmware updates for the device.
