*Battery Recommendations and Improvements for VATRER*
Overall, this is an impressive battery with very good build quality that tested very well. Here are a few improvements that I would suggest.
1. Temperature/Humidity Gauge: I don't see the value of this gauge. It only senses temperature and humidity readings from inside the lid of the battery between the two pieces of foam support. I suggest you replace it with a push-button voltage gauge that would display voltage when you press a button.
2. The Mobile App should not require an on-line account to display cell voltage. All other data is displayed without signing in except cell voltages. I don't understand why.
3. The Mobile App SOC and Time Remaining calculations are not accurate above 95% and below 5% SOC. It appears to struggle until jumping directly to 100% or 0%.
