Sounds like your talking about a drop-in style battery - if so, I’m not aware of ANY drop-in w/bluetooth that displays BMS Info…BMS operates ‘passively’ to avoid catastrophic events (upper and lower charge limit and temp parameters), and secondarily for individual cell balancing…Perhaps PT can inform us about a drop-in make with the feature he suggested??
Personally, I’d skip the Bluetooth…

Lots of let you adjust some parameters with the blue tooth now as the blue tooth is part of the BMS, they just lock out the settings they don't want you to play with when they design the app that is used to connect. so, for instance, I bought the JBD BMS for my battery and using its native app I can alter any BMS setting, but if I was making them and selling them, I would make my own app designed off the native JBD but lock out any setting that is there for the safety of the battery like the low temp cut off for example. others I might limit the range it can be adjusted within. all easy enough to do if you're an app designer.
