Once the Read button is pressed, the following parameters are cyclically read from the battery.
Not all parameters are read continuously, but only those subject to change with higher frequency are kept fresh.

Battery ID:


shows the serial number of the pack. This number is written in the pack at production time and identifies a unique pack in that productive year. A reference to this number can be found in the sticker on the bottom of the pack.


the device name is the nickname of each model, followed by the firmware revision number. This information, though apparently useless to the user may be significantly important to the Blueshape® support team.


the cycle counter reads how many times, a certain amount of capacity has been removed from the battery. This counter is incremented every time the 80% of pack nominal capacity is removed from the battery, even if a charge cycle occurs in between two different discharge cycles. This information can be useful in determining the age of the battery pack.

Live Data:
displays the total voltage of the internal stack of batteries (4 batteries connected in series); this value is calibrated and has a precision of ±1mV.
The pack voltage is also shown: this value is not calibrated (has an error of ±6% and can fluctuate) and represents the voltage read at the pack terminals. In some particular cases, this value can be very low, in the order of few millivolts. In these cases the battery's discharge protection has been activated and this disables the reading of pack voltage at the terminals.

displays the single cell voltage of each of the 4 cells that make the battery's internal stack; this value is calibrated and has a precision of ±1mV.
The voltage of each cell normally ranges from a maximum of 4250mV to a minimum of 2700mV.
Other values, lower than this range are possible in cases of deeply discharged batteries. However, higher values are not possible since safety protections prevent the single cell voltage from rising beyond this level.

shows the actual charging or discharging current flowing in (positive) or out (negative) from the battery. This value is calibrated and has a precision of ±1mA. In case of a discharge current, the instant watt is also displayed

this is the actual internal temperature of the pack measured at the middle of the cell stack. All the safety protections implemented inside the battery refer to this temperature for their functionality.


shows the available capacity accumulated inside the battery pack, expressed in mAh. This value decreases down to 0 mAh during discharge  and increases during charge up to the max value allowed (Full Charge Capacity).


is the ratio between Remaining Capacity and Full charge Capacity. This is the value represented by the 5 LEDs when the LED button on the battery pack is pressed.


shows the capacity of the pack when in full charge state. This value is "learned" by the battery management system during the initial testing on the production lines, and is kept updated automatically during pack life.
Initially, the full-charge capacity may differ slightly (in excess or in defect) from the nominal capacity, but It should be expected that this value slowly decreases through ageing due to the permanent loss of capacity that steadily occurs from each charge/discharge cycle.


shows the expected time to empty (in case of discharge) or the expected time to full (in case of charge) in minutes.
The amount of time is calculated at run time based on the average current handled by the battery in the last 60 seconds. Note that the data shown may vary rapidly until the current stabilizes.
When the battery is idle, this information is not available.
