streetwize SWBMS1 Bluetooth Battery Monitoring System Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing this Bluetooth Battery Monitoring System from Streetwize. This monitoring system is intended to help you monitor the health of your battery through your smartphone via a specially designed smartphone app (BM6 – Battery Monitor 6).
When this monitoring system is connected to your vehicle, it provides you with real-time readings of your battery’s charge level, voltage and temperature.
The device can also be used to track both your journey and location via your smartphone’s built-in GPS.
Through the smartphone app, you can monitor up to four 12V batteries.
However, you will need to get and install a Bluetooth Battery Monitoring System for each battery.
This product is suitable for use in most vehicles with either a 12V lead acid battery or LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. This includes cars, vans, caravans, motorhomes and 4x4s.
Before using this product, we advise that you read through all information in this document. Please keep this document for future reference.

Apple Play

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/battery-monitor6/id1561912036

Download and install the app and then check to see if your smartphone’s Bluetooth has been enabled.

Then, open up the app, and it will ask you to create an account. Depending on the make & model, you can create an account using your Apple account, Google account, Facebook account or Skype account. When creating an account, you will be asked to allow for some permissions which will include location/GPS & notifications. Please allow for all of these permissions.
On creating your account, select the option to “Add Device”. You will be led to the following screen (Figure 1):

Once scanned, you can input the name of the device (the default name will be the serial number), select the battery type and you can then type in the fuel consumption and fuel price (the latter two are both optional).
IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE: The fuel consumption is the average number of litres of fuel a vehicle consumes per 100km. You can find your vehicle’s fuel consumption in your vehicle handbook. As for the fuel price, this is the cost of fuel per litre. Once these figures have been inputted, they can’t be changed. If you want to change these details, you will need to re-link the app.
