    I did message him to ask. I think from what that site showed the m8 runs blue tooth 5.0 and it should be backwards compliant. I tried an emulator for my surface book 2 but the app wouldn't run at all.

    Looking for a Droid Tablet that will run Overkill BMS's app

    yeah, it works on my droid phone but the whole dashboard doesn't display right so I figured spend 40 bucks and get a tablet just for this app.... hopefully someone does. Would I need an ipad? sorry not a mac person, worked in IT, always with pc's.

    So I decided to build my own 200 amp LiFePo4 battery for my van

    I can drag my tablet outside when it warms up a bit (I am up in the mountains) I went outside, opened the app and it shows battery at 13.33v 200 amps and at 100% Overkill wants me to "measure voltage across the BMS, with the engine running and charger active. (measure B- to C- )" going to be...

    So I decided to build my own 200 amp LiFePo4 battery for my van

    well when I left this morning, battery was at 13.18 volts. 120 miles later it's at 13.34 volts... so I guess it's taking a charge. Tuesday I head back and hopefully it should nearly top it off.

    So I decided to build my own 200 amp LiFePo4 battery for my van

    well I am ok with not bringing it up to 100% full, I heard around 90% is better for extended cycles. When Will P. talked about it on Youtube, I took it into consideration and originally was looking at around a 150amp battery planned for using 80% then thought about the 200 amp cell's were on...

    So I decided to build my own 200 amp LiFePo4 battery for my van

    Raining of course but I started the van and tested the voltage at the battery and it was around 14.3v the idle was under 1500rpm's and its a 150 amp alternator I have a meter for the van's main battery and it usually shows 14.2 to 14.4 when I plug it in(part of a bluetooth unit for the radio...

    So I decided to build my own 200 amp LiFePo4 battery for my van

    I have a 2000 watt Bestek inverter, yesterday morning I removed the wires from the battery for it. It was turned off and the green led on the front of the inverter wasn't on, but I was wondering if something was taking juice away from the battery. Yesterday I emailed overkill because when I...

    So I decided to build my own 200 amp LiFePo4 battery for my van

    in this one it looks off, it says 40% setting is 3.15v and the main screen shows I am at 30% with 13.18v I haven't used the battery for anything other then checking that the lights and ventfan and water pump worked, everything is off all the time. I don't live in the van, just for weekends...
