BasenCloud is the app for BasenGreen home batteries. The battery's touch display connects to Wi-Fi and reports to BasenCloud, and the app shows you what your battery is doing, wherever you are. No Bluetooth is needed: the app works wherever your phone is online. Live status • State of charge, voltage, current and power • Charging, discharging or standby, and whether a protection is active • Whether the display and each pack are online Cells and temperatures • Every cell voltage, with the lowest, the highest and the difference • Cell balancing, as the battery management system (BMS) reports it • Parallel packs side by side, and every temperature sensor Alarms and notifications • Protection events and warnings from the BMS • Notifications for protection events always, and you choose which of the others you get: warnings, low and full charge, a pack that goes offline and firmware updates installed by BasenGreen • Acknowledge an alarm to clear your badge History and BMS log • See the battery's history at any time: state of charge over time, cycles, energy throughput, deepest discharge and the largest cell difference • Read the BMS log: how many times each protection of the battery's management system has been triggered Several batteries • Link up to 20 batteries to one account, name them and switch between them • Read-only protection parameters and installed firmware versions • The inverter protocol of the battery's CAN and RS485 ports, which you can change as on the display Getting started 1.

Good to know • BasenCloud is for monitoring. It cannot switch, charge or discharge your battery or change its protection settings; the battery's own BMS protects it at all times. • Notifications are for information and can be delayed. Never rely on the app for safety. • A battery belongs to one account at a time. Before you hand it over, unlink it in the app or at the display. • No ads and no tracking. You can delete your account in the app at any time. • In English, Simplified Chinese, Arabic and Kurdish (Sorani). BasenCloud is provided by Shenzhen Basen Technology Co., Ltd.
