Please allow to receive notifications. Then the device will send you
notifications regarding the car battery, start system and problems. These
notifications will be sent when your smartphone is within the Bluetooth radius
of the device.
App-Bedienung
To add a device, it is necessary to enter the serial number of the device,
which can be scanned by barcode or entered manually. The serial number incl.
barcode can be found on the subpage of the device and on the page of the
device. Please select the battery type and name the device for better
recognition..
Notice:

the app at the same time. You can also click the „Edit“ icon or the „Delete“
button to rename or delete the device.
Basic functions – First Interface
- Here you can edit the device name and assign an individualized name to your Battery-Guard.
- If the device is connected to the app, the Bluetooth icon will turn blue, if the connection is lost, it will turn red. By default, the app automatically connects to the device as soon as it is within Bluetooth range.
- Here you can add a new device or select the one to be displayed from the already added devices. Up to four devices can be displayed at the same time.
- Battery charge level in percent.
- The color of the ring changes according to the battery charge level.
- Battery status display: battery OK (yellow), battery charging (blue), low battery (red).
- Anzeige der Batteriespannung in Echtzeit
- Display of battery voltage in real time.
- This takes you to the start test user interface. Every time the engine starts, a start test is automatically performed.
- Here you can access the charge test user interface and test the charging system manually.
- 11. Battery voltage history graph: Click on the graph to enlarge it. The graph shows you either the state of charge in %, the temperature or the battery voltage in volts. Here you can choose between the display of one day, 3 or 5 days. You can also switch between the days at the top center.

Cranking Test
- Engine start time
- Starter test: When the engine starts, the device automatically tests the starting system and stores the test result. If the voltage is higher than 9.6 V during starting, this is considered normal. However, if the starting voltage is below 9.6 V, this indicates a defect. This may mean that the battery is too weak due to lack of charge, aging or other factors, the starter motor is defective or there is another problem.
- Display of the start voltage. Green indicates a normal value, red indicates a too low starting voltage.
- Graphical representation of the starting span.
Loadtest
-
Start test
-
To test the open circuit voltage, please lea-ve the vehicle in neutral, switch on all elec-trical consumers. The test will take about 6 seconds.
-
For high speed voltage test, please turn off all electrical consumers, increase the speed to 2500-3000/min and hold it for 6 se-conds.then the test is finished.
-
For the diode ripple test, please run the vehicle at idle, turn off all electrical devices. This test takes 6 seconds.
Loadtestt -
Help screen for interpreting the results: Char ging voltage normal: charging system indicates alternator output is normal, no problem detected. Char ging voltage too low: Check if the drive belt is slipping or if the line connection bet-ween alternator and battery is normal or not. If the drive belt and line connection are OK, please follow the vehicle manufacturer‘s re-commendations to rule out alternator failure. Charging voltage too high: The output voltage of the alternator is too high. Please contact a specialist workshop to check the charging device. The usual voltage for automotive re-gulators is 14.7 ±0.5 V. A high charging vol-tage leads to overcharging of the battery and shortens the service life, and malfunctions may also occur.
-
Time of the end of the load test
-
Open circuit voltage: Green means normal, red indicates too high or too low voltage.
-
Voltage at higher speeds: Blue means normal, red indicates too high or too low voltage.
-
Diode ripple test: Orange means normal, and red indicates too high or too low voltage.
-
Here you can repeat the test.
