This is an app which allows an iOS device to communicate through bluetooth with a range of Automotive Battery charging devices (Active battery chargers, passive battery chargers and status display devices). These Automotive Battery charging devices use a ABB07 bluetooth adaptor to allow interrogation of the host device by the iOS app. The app can display voltages and current from the Automotive Battery charging system. The Battery Manager App can make changes to the configuration settings of the Automotive Battery charging devices.
