Cheali Charger Battery Monitor

Monitor battery health for any charger with the ChealiCharger firmware and BlueTooth modification. This is a very specialized and targeted app so please be sure that it's going to be useful to you before installing.

ChealiCharger (https://github.com/stawel/cheali-charger) is a free and opensource feature-rich alternative firmware for a range of low cost battery chargers for charging and maintenance of Li-ion, LiPo, LiPo-4.30V, LiPo-4.35V, LiFe, NiCd, NiMH, NiZn and Lead Acid batteries. Supported chargers include IMAX B6, Turnigy and G.T. POWER.

Full details and the benefits of using Cheali-Charger, particularly calibration are described in the readme at https://github.com/stawel/cheali-charger/blob/master/README.md

This app is only useful if you have a charger running the Cheali-Charger firmware.

You will also need one of the many readily available Bluetooth serial modules, such as the HC-05/HC-06 and to apply the Bluetooth modification to the charger to described here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cheali-charger/zi5FNlPrwxs

You can monitor up to seven chargers. Not all Android devices support the maximum of seven Bluetooth connections. Many support only three or four connections. This is a limitation of your Android device and not a limitation of the program.

Some basic charting is available that allows you to compare discharge/charge curves from either multiple cycles of the same cell or different cells. The amount of data collected is quite large and so charting on the Android device can be a little slow - it can take 30 seconds or more to create the chart.

Data is stored on the SDCARD using SQLLite. You can copy the database - ChealiStore - from your SDCARD and manipulate it with tools on another system. Many tools are available to work with SQLite databases including, for example, the "SQLite Manager" for FireFox available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
