Has anyone used the vestwoods battery app for their line of batteries? I’ve tried without success.
I just bought a battery, where do you even get the app? I tried vestwoods.com

battery serial number is shown on app, click it and nothing happens
all I get is a spinning icon
I ran across your discussion separate from this one. Did you mention a need to “wake up” the battery? Maybe this is what I’m missing…
Yep, looks like power must be applied to wake up the vestwoods battery. My new charger arrived, I hooked it up and the app is reporting data now. ThanksI only had to wake up the battery when I first got it by applying a charge for about 5-10 seconds. I think I did that before I tried the app. I do not know how long it has to sit idle before the BMS goes back to sleep. I am guessing days or weeks.
Good. As I mentioned somewhere, on the first charge, do not go by the % the BMS is reporting. It seems to default to 50% the first time. Do a full charge by voltage/current. After that, it will be in sync.Yep, looks like power must be applied to wake up the vestwoods battery. My new charger arrived, I hooked it up and the app is reporting data now.
Yes mine also showed around 50% but was really under 30%.Good. As I mentioned somewhere, on the first charge, do not go by the % the BMS is reporting. It seems to default to 50% the first time. Do a full charge by voltage/current. After that, it will be in sync.
