The R&D guy gave me a call a few minutes ago and I am quite happy with the call and all the questions he answered and his suggestions and opinions..He also explained how the bluetooth being in a sealed battery would be a pain to update/fix or replace..Also in warranties with bluetooth failing way before the actual battery..
I do go to DIY solar forums(will Prowse's) and joined so I could see downloads/graphs and pictures but I have not posted..Don't want to seem to amateuristic but you guys already know..(laffin)
Thanks and I do enjoy the back and forths here because there is a lot to be learned for someone who is learning lithium for the good of the battery..
I took the $50 to put towards a shunt or charger..
No doubt your comfort level has to be a consideration in whatever becomes your ultimate choice...
To me the battery’s built-in bluetooth seems more like low cost marketing gimmickry, so it makes sense that it won’t detract from the battery itself... If you were to later add another battery (think, of a like kind!!) I’d say you’d gain a better overall system appraisal by using a more central shunt based meter with bluetooth...
