The Century Bluetooth Battery Monitor BM12V tracks battery state of charge and vehicle charging system performance, sending live data to a smartphone via Bluetooth. It suits 12V lead-acid batteries, including flooded, AGM and gel types, across cars, 4WDs, SUVs, trucks, caravans, marine and recreational vehicles, helping prevent unexpected breakdowns by alerting to low voltage before starting fails.
Through the Century BM12V app for iOS and Android, the monitor runs engine crank tests to assess starter performance, automatically records trip duration, and sends push notifications for low battery voltage and low cranking voltage. Historical voltage data is stored for 31 days, letting users spot trends and diagnose charging system faults early.
