## What is B2QScan?

B1 BATTERY TESTER HARDWARE REQUIRED FOR FULL FUNCTIONALITY

The B2QScan App is a lead acid battery health analysis and data sharing application that works together with a B1e Battery Tester to help battery service providers and owners determine battery condition and track the health of 12V lead acid batteries (WET,MF, AGM, EFB...) . 

B2QScan instantly captures battery characteristics from an optical image generated by a B1 Battery Tester.  Data may be shared between connected B2QScan user accounts.  

B2QScan includes the following features:

- Optically captures battery test data from B1 Tester (B1 Battery Tester hardware required for this feature)*
- Optically captures battery barcode*
- Optically captures VIN from vehicle VIN bar code*
- Determines battery health, and warns of potential starting and charging system problems
- Enables user to save, email, print, share test reports instantly
- Cloud based backup and sharing of test data with connected users

* Camera functions require an autofocus camera.

The B2QScan App and B1 Tester is an ideal battery management solution for automotive, heavy duty, marine, and RV technicians; fleet operators and service providers; vehicle and equipment owner / operators.  

The B2QScan App and B1 Tester may also be used to simplify and automate the management of industrial lead acid batteries in electric vehicles, UPS, and telecom applications.

Install the B2QScan App and visit b2qtech.com/demo to find sample optical codes that simulate real B1 tests.  Purchase B1 Tester hardware from your local automotive electrical dealer, or from b2qtech.com

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-03-10*

The latest update seems to have broken this already fragile and poorly designed software. It’s slower to open now, because of the database check, and I’ve had to reset the database twice. It also seems to forget my subscription sometimes and needs to be reloaded to correct. Not surprised though, it’s always been junk.

### 1/5 — SIGN IN ISSUES

*2025-11-29*

LOADING STAYS FOREVER UNLESS DELETING OR RESTARTING PHONE I WILL DELETE THIS REVIEW WHEN ITS FIXED!

### 1/5 — Scanner is garbage.

*2025-11-26*

The scanning function for barcodes is straight trash and never works. I always have to resort to typing it in. Very inefficient.

### 1/5 — The optical scanning is no longer working

*2025-10-27, version 2.5.72*

I’ve reinstalled, cant get the camera to ever show, just a big white screen rendering everything useless as I can’t scan the qr code on the display.

### 4/5 — Work app

*2025-09-26*

Works well and is quick

### 1/5 — The worst

*2025-05-24*

I work for a company that installs batteries and I use this B2Q to test the batteries and it is not reliable and it’s not acc sometimes. keep changing result sometimes you give me bad result for a brand new battery and sometimes give me good results for real bad battery

### 1/5 — Will not focus!

*2024-09-26*

Only blur, will not focus! If I happen to have iPhone aimed correctly when first read VIN then reads it. I don’t have 5 min each time to make this work! 
App used to work perfectly years ago! GO BACK!

### 1/5 — No good

*2024-03-13, version 2.5.8*

It has a feature where you can scan the VIN barcode but will not scan the barcode.

### 4/5 — Some Problems

*2024-03-13, version 2.5.8*

The feature of copying and pasting numbers is required, it does not work when in the background, it resets itself. It does not read the VIN number with QR code and the sticker on the windshield. In the evening, it does not read the VIN code label with a black background. I am an AAA employee, please take care of these. The application started to close itself during testing, it is necessary to do everything from the beginning

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2024-03-08, version 2.5.8*

The application keeps closing and opening, try to fix it, it's impossible to work like this
