Does anyone use this app for iphone?

I have found the PID calculator on this site however it's only specific to certain apps? So it doesn't really help me I am trying to input a few things into it to monitor however I can't seem to get them to work. Main one being battery percentage.

Now I know that they do work because I can get them to work in forscan lite however I don't really like the forscan app the layout is squashed and it isn't very nice looking.

I have may ways to put custom PIDs in however not sure what relates from the calculator to this app.

Thanks

Command would be 224028 and not 4028

Use the Torque app PIDs as your starting point.

Formula is math so 22 in incorrect.

So with the above code and now have smart charge turned off I can only get the battery to display up to 85% so I feel that there may still be an issue.

I even placed it onto a projecta charger over knight and still only 85%.

Is there anything else I could possibly try?

Never assume that all batteries can charge to 100%.

How was the charger hooked up to the battery, in or out of vehicle, earth correctly hooked to body of vehicle and no battery charger?

It was hooked up with the battery still in the car.

I hooked it to the terminals directly.

Probably should have connected it to the body of the car shouldn't I.

What I have noticed though is that first thing in the morning I was at 85% drove to the first place parked for 1hr come back to 83% next stop now I'm back at 73% like the state of charge is probably playing up or my battery is just junk.

It's only 8months old.

I do have a dashcam that has parking mode maybe this is drawing more power than what they say it does and it's the culprit of draining my battery.

First problem, NEVER hook negative directly to battery terminal.

Needs to be on the body so the battery monitoring sensor can sense the charge input. If it was on the correct side then it is highly likely you would have seen 100%.

No worries I will hook it back up tonight and see if the result changes at all.

Still the same left it all night on charge only 75% so I know it’s only a guide but are my settings correct or should it be closer than this?

I see no issue with your PID.

Worst case delete it and start a fresh one, test again.
