    I bought one of those on Ebay and using it on my 430 Scuderia...its okay, but does require opening the app before starting the drive or you don't capture the info. Its okay info, and over time you can get a general indication where things are going, but prefer the immediacy of using a load tester periodically.

    BTW, your cranking voltages and starting voltages are similar to mine, which is a good sign :)

    Here's link to one like I got...the app is free.

    That was one of the reasons I went with a name brand one, mine immediately pings my phone the moment I'm near my car.

    Thanks for that! I just checked and it was a setting on my Iphone...now mine synchs when I walk into my garage. :) So even the cheapo one does that too...same app I assume.

    I am 99% this is the case - same app and same hardware too

    The next step would be to integrate the results from the battery monitors to a home assistant card

    My entire home is automated, when I want to make love to my girlfriend I just push a button and the computer does it for me... truly a marvel of engineering
