Awesome way to keep track of your batteries cycles. Easy.thanks

This is the best lipo battery & rc tracker I've found so far on the Play Store. I purchased the premium version for $4 so i could use the NFC tag portion of the app except that when the tags are placed on the lipo something is interfering with the nfc tag rendering it unreadable so i guess I'll have to use the QR codes. Cloud storage back up & restore very nice to keep the app up to date & current on all my devices.

This is by far the best app to keep track of your lipos. Love every single thing abou it, the user interface is nice and clean. No annoying ads poppi g up everytime you open the app. Just the features you need and want. Will be purchasing the premium version tonight.

Best battery tracker. Don't use a battery more often than its sister battery. Use them in a balanced way. Tracks how many cycles each had gone thru. Organize them from oldest charge to recent. Or from least used to more abused.

K70%
by K####:

Great app, love it! I however dont understand the cycle policy, i.e. when i have an empty battery, and i charge it, and discharge it: thats one cycle. But when i have an empty battery, charge it to store voltage, later charge it to full, and then discharge it, this app counts that as 2 cycles instead of one...?

Battery Management par Excellance! Three things one needs for happy batteries are: This app, a B6 charger, and a 5 in 1 battery tool. I refer this app to any pilot, noob or not.

Just what I needed for batteries I cannot test. Best update you added was ability to transfer all data to a new phone! Saved me lots of work! Thank you.

Great battery tracker. Exactly what you need to keep your batteries organised.

T70%
by T####:

There is no way with mental notes or paper notes I'd keep track of batteries like this does, free version is just enough just now, would like full version, but a bit steep for the extra features or would have been 5 stars :)

T70%
by T####:

Good app, needs to be able to enter batteries with no RC model associated

U70%
by U####:

Serves my purpose perfectly, simple to use and helps to organise all my models and batteries into a neat package. Cloud backup and restore is also very helpful.

E70%

Does everything I already do but faster and more awesome

T70%
by T####:

Works very well, easy to use & clear to read what's going on with each battery for each model. :)

T70%
by T####:

Very good app. Only thing I wish changed, is to have a non model locked battery list. Since I use all my batteries with multiple models, I don't want to lock them to one specific model. But rather just have them listed on their own. Now I have made a "AllBatteries" model, and list them all under that one. EDIT!!! Late followup and edit. But as the developer said, batteries can be shared between models (for premium). This means I can make a "all batteries" model, where I register all my batteries. Then I make specific craft/car models where I share the batteries they use to that specific model. This means I can fast and easy see what battery is charged and not in the "all batteries" model overview. Or I can go into a specific model to see what the status is, and get tracking of runtime and more. That made the app a 5/5 stars for me.

This is the best app available! No question about it. Uses modern technology to keep track of leading edge technology. Just download and try all the features it will leave you gobb smacked nfc QR codes make it a cut above the rest. Great work. *****

I fly 4 different mutirotors, each with a different battery type. This great app allows me to take pictures of the aircrafts and their batteries to make sure the fully charged batteries never get mixed up with the discharged or storage batteries. Simple, easy to navigate and edit, I am grateful for this free app.

X70%
by X####:

I was keeping an Evernote for stats and made a set of pockets to arrange batteries. Fresh batteries were face up and discharged were face down. Then, one drop or carrying accident and my batteries were in a pile and I had no idea which to use when. This app keeps all my stats together and tells me which to use and which to charge. As a bonus, it tracks total battery cycles on each model. This gives a rough estimate of running time on my motors. All in all a great tool!

by X####:

It would be nice to set the mah when charging or discharging. Not everyone discharges the battery fully after or during a flight. Also a full discharge should count as a cycle.

Rated it 4 stars. If it had a way to keep track of mah would rate 5 stars. A great app otherwise. I use it almost everyday.

F70%
by F####:

This app works great but I'd really like to see the run time optimized for more than helis. I'll never get over 25 minutes with my Align 450 but my MT4 G3 (Truggy) can run for well over an hour when I'm going easy on it. Maybe have the max value of the slider as a setting when adding a new model. Also having a category selection in the same setup page would be great. Just a on-road, off-road, heli, quad, plane, boat kind of thing with custom categories in case anyone wants to divide it up further. Thanks!

D70%
by D####:

A suggestion for the next update, the battery cost / flight. And improve the way of listing the batteries to include all states, not only the specific. And also include batteries disposed.

L70%
by L####:

So this app simplified my monitoring of batteries from the Google Sheet I was using on phone. Would like to see some further development to make this a great app. Happy so far.

F70%
by F####:

I've always wondered how many cycles I've put in my batteries. This app makes it easy to keep track. Also, your backup to cloud is a standard that should be followed by other apps with databases. If it we were automated, it would be perfect. Great job!

M70%
by M####:

does what I need, but not all. Took me a few to find out how it works but after that it's easy! Then The nfc option makes it perfectly easy to operate! Definitely worth it! But I would love a timer for battery Charging, would be awesome to hit charge, set the mA and it would tell me when it should be done... Maybe I should get a better charger but until then! ☺

App works ffine and is very useful - apart from NFC. Can write to tag and read to tags no problem that is until I stick them on the batteries. Then they cant be read. I assume this is interference from the battery itself (I use FlightPower). Have tried different positions with tags but still cant be read stuck on the battery. Note I did write to the tags prior to sticking on batteries. So no really the apps fault - hence the 4 stars.
