BAT-BMS is a free Bluetooth battery monitoring app developed by Shenzhen Grenergy Technology Co., Ltd. It's designed for Smart Bluetooth lithium batteries, letting you check charge level, voltage, current, individual cell voltage, temperature, and cycle life directly from your phone — no separate battery monitor required. **Typical use cases:** solar setups, marine batteries, off-grid energy storage, golf carts, and other lithium battery packs using compatible Grenergy-based BMS hardware. ## Availability Note BAT-BMS was originally available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. As of early July 2026, the app has been removed from Apple's App Store following media coverage of a security issue (see below); it remains available on Google Play. UpdateStar's listing will be updated to reflect current platform availability. ## Security Advisory In late June/early July 2026, BAT-BMS drew widespread media attention after viral videos showed people using it to remotely disable the battery output of e-rickshaws in India via Bluetooth. Investigation by tech outlets clarified that this is not a flaw in the app itself, but a configuration issue: many low-cost e-rickshaw battery packs use Bluetooth-enabled BMS hardware that dealers leave unsecured, with no password set. Any compatible app — including BAT-BMS — can connect to an unsecured unit within Bluetooth range and trigger its discharge cut-off. Vehicles using lead-acid batteries (no Bluetooth) or proprietary, password-protected BMS systems are unaffected. Users pairing BAT-BMS with their own batteries should ensure their BMS hardware has authentication/password protection enabled, per the manufacturer's instructions.

FAQ

What is BAT-BMS and what does the app do?

BAT-BMS is a Bluetooth mobile app from Shenzhen Grenergy to monitor batteries using the battery's built-in Bluetooth transmitter. It displays real-time battery info such as state of charge (SOC), pack voltage, charge/discharge current, cell voltages, temperatures, and cycle life.

Which devices and Bluetooth version are required?

The app requires a smartphone or tablet with Bluetooth 5.0 that supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Android and iOS versions of the app are available on Google Play and the App Store.

How far can I be from the battery and still use the app?

Typical operating distance is up to 15 meters (about 50 feet) in open space. Range may be reduced by walls, interference, or the device’s Bluetooth antenna.

Can the app monitor multiple batteries at once?

Yes. The app can connect to multiple batteries and you can view another battery’s data by switching between left and right pages in the app interface.

What battery data does the app show?

The app displays SOC, pack voltage, charge and discharge current, individual cell voltages, temperatures, and cycle life. Some batteries also allow switching charge/discharge circuits on or off and have an advanced mode for parameter changes.

What should I do if the app won’t connect or crashes?

Troubleshooting steps: 1) Ensure your phone’s Bluetooth is on and Android/iOS permissions are granted. 2) Move closer to the battery (within 15 m). 3) Fully quit the app on any other phone that may be connected. 4) Restart your phone, then reopen the app. 5) Reinstall the app if needed. If problems persist, contact support (see below). Some users report intermittent issues while the developer optimizes the app.
