I have my new Infinite Battery blinking orange and ready to be configured for the first time. However, while my phone and laptop see and pair with it on bluetooth, both the app and the website versions of My Gouach say that BLE isn’t available/supported when I try to search for the battery. I’ve played with every setting and permission related to both the app and bluetooth and I’m out of ideas.
I really hope it is possible or will become possible to configure/update the BMS by data cable. Finnicky bells and whistles like the antenna should be optional, not a critical point of failure.
I moved my battery much closer to my router just as I was out of other ideas and it worked straight away. Other than that I have no suggestions.
I never got My Gouach to interface with bluetooth on my own devices, but I brought my battery to a relative’s house and we pulled it off with their PC. Configuration appears to have been successful, though I am left with one question.
The cells I have were sold to me as “unwrapped, likely Sanyo NCR18650BD”. On the drop-down menu in configuration, there was only one Sanyo option, but it had different letters on either side of ‘18650’. I assumed the letters denoted a type that was more important than the brand, so I chose a different brand that had ‘NCR18650BD’ next to it. Either Panasonic or Samsung? I don’t remember, and of course I can’t check on my own devices. I just hope it will be alright.
