EvBatMon for Outlander PHEV for Android
Got the right hardware as recommended by a forum member that has this working. My phone will connect and work with Torque Pro, but not this app. Got a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and android 6.x
I owned two OBD2 adapters off the compatible list. One the Jaycar wifi and the other from an eBay link on the recommended list. The latter works with Torque etc but never with EVBatMon. I finally have the Jaycar one working once. I didn't do anything but restart the app and it finally switched across to wifi instead of running in default demo mode.
Does what I really wanted it to do, which is to track individual cell health and overall battery performance. Another EV I have has had a couple of cells fail so I think it's worth checking.
Great work. Awesome app.
Only obstacle is that there is no natural way to turn of the app after using it. Sometimes i loose my added gauges.
This app deserves full 5 stars, if not only for the fact that it is the only off-the-shelf app that targets (the non standard OBDII PIDs of) the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. For starters, it will reveal the primary battery health indicator (Ah), without the need for visiting your dealer or waiting for the next service. But it will tell you much more, not only about the battery (individual cell voltages, SOC in a much higher granularity than the dashboard will tell you, etc.) but also about various other EV components, such as Front E-motor, Rear E-motor and Generator. The information available through this app will allow you to assess, for example, the effect of various regen brake levels, much better than the dashboard of the car will. As a bonus, you can set up an audible alarm (in case you think the car does not have enough audible alarms as is ;-)) that will sound when you are about to pass the power threshold that will cause the engine to start up. This should allow you to achieve a better EV driving percentage. All together, a must have for those who really want to know what goes on in their cars.
A must have add on for any driver of an Outlander PHEV. No more guessing about the battery health. Will empower the PHEV owner confidence in battery performance as their car ages. Many more tools that a driver will find useful that are lacking on the factory supplied SUV.
Well.. it is the ONLY one, apparently. I would say "it just works" to borrow a phrase from somewhere else........
Great app which is a nice complement to torque if you want to keep track of your battery status in your Outlander PHEV.

Bugs list: Custom PIDs cant be saved. Always reset at relaunch. UI must portrait if landscape it restarts. Phev cells didnt work, keeps showing Evolve logo and restarts. Occasional msg OBD not supported even when it is in the list and works. Need manual to know what each PID means. Galaxy S7. UPDATE: Would like to participate in test. Will email
