Use the app to record up to seven of your LIONTRON LiFePO4 batteries. The connection is made via Bluetooth, i.e. your Bluetooth function on your mobile phone must be switched on. The app displays the following functions in real time: - Voltage in volts (V) - Current in amperes (A) - Power in watts (W) - Capacity and remaining capacity in ampere hours (Ah) - Number of charging cycles - Charging/discharging allowed The battery transmits the information whether charging or discharging of the battery is "allowed" or "stopped" due to an error message, such as an increased temperature. Error messages that can be displayed below the state of charge in percent are: - Everything is OK! - The battery is too cold! - The battery is too hot! - There is a disbalance in the cells. Don't worry. If you use me, I'll even it out. - The charging voltage is too high. Please make sure your charger is not desulphating and charging below 14.4V. - The current you are charging with is too high! - You are trying to draw more current than I can supply. - One cell has too low a voltage. Please charge me! - The battery voltage is too low. Please charge me!

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BMS Tool sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. LIONTRON Multi asks for nothing beyond the download.
LIONTRON Multi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BMS Tool has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of BMS Tool's written reviews are positive against 27% of LIONTRON Multi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BMS Tool ships an update every 2 months, LIONTRON Multi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
