Smart phone Bluetooth Battery Monitor - BM2 - PRICE WARNING

There have been threads on this topic in the past, but none recently.

I'm looking for a smartphone battery monitor app. & associated hardware to monitor & report on battery condition for at least two batteries in my SL350 & one in the D4. If cheap enough I would add the stop/start battery in the D4 and batteries in my 2 MGs as well.

I need them to alert me to when charging is required regardless whether the vehicle is "switched on".

The CTEK 40-149 Vehicle Battery Monitor would be my first choice but at £45 per vehicle it's expensive & I'm not even sure it will accommodate 3 or more batteries.

EDITED to add the PRICE WARNING in my post on 19/11/2020

Have 2 x of them , one on each of my batteries

This is the app I use, can monitor up to 4 x batteries , bluetooth range isnt brilliant , around 20 x feet , disco is on my driveway outside my front room window and works ok on my iPhone and iPad

Can set the App up to send u a notification if the battery gets below a certain level , to which u can set that level

Think I paid £9.99 for the app

I am pleased with the Battery Monitor; pricing is, to say the least "interesting"!

Search for "quicklynks battery monitor bm2" and/or some of these terms & you will find prices up to £33.99 (on Amazon.co.uk)

The best price I could find was £9.68 + postage here:-

I paid £19.99 elsewhere on Amazon Big Cry it could have been worse I might have paid £33.99 Exclamation

I now have 4 in use two on my D4 & two on my MB SL350.

Good spot on price, but need to buy 4 to get free shipping, otherwise it's £20.99 for 3 or less!!

I notice CTEK have introduced a Bluetooth monitor. I've not tried it.
