The Location/Trips feature leaves many things to be desired: - The GPS location is that of the phone you use to connect, not the location of the battery monitor. - The battery monitor will record trips even if GPS on the phone is OFF. It will record blank trips. - You cannot delete trips. - I have trips with missing sections, trips that do not follow the road... instead they just show a straight line between 2 points. These are not really related to the BM300 Pro device. They are simply software features and should be easily updated.

Yes I agree it is not fully featured on the location stuff. But that just seems like a nice bonus anyways with a bluetooth voltage monitor.

These are great,I bought two,so I’ve got a monitor in the car and one indoors,ANCEL told me that the transmission unit on the battery can transmit to 4 separate screens,It works great,For a few days as I was driving it didn’t show how the alternator was charging the battery,It’s because it was calibrating charging system etc for this particular car and battery,But after a few days it shows charging display as you are driving along,Great video,Can I just say the double sided tape is to attach the transmitter to the battery,As the monitor has non slip feet on the bottom,I’m just so pleased I have a monitor in the car and one indoors,They are both synced perfectly.

Is the stator vacuumed after impregnation with resin?
@OctaneElectrons
@OctaneElectrons 19 дней назад
I use resin and then put in the oven. No vacuum, though that would be even better.
@3FHVSP
@3FHVSP 19 дней назад
@@OctaneElectrons , Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) "Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (V.P.I) is a process by which a fully wound electric apparatus stator or rotor is completely submerged in a Resin. Through a combination of dry and wet vacuum and pressure cycles, the resin is assimilated throughout the insulation system. Once thermally processed, the impregnated windings become a monolithic and homogenous structure. The resulting benefits are; Higher Dielectric Strength, Increased Mechanical Strength, Greater Thermal Inductivity, Superior Protection against the Ingress of Water, Chemical and Containments. A proper global vacuum pressure impregnated winding will have superior characteristics, which will support a longer and more maintenance free life span."

Bike started real quick. I have 1994 Fxr with ev27 cam, s&s lifters, rejeted cv carb, high flow air filter and fab28 2-1 exhaust. What will this ultima ignition give me compared to the stock one? How much power it gives? Fuel mileage upgrades?
@OctaneElectrons
@OctaneElectrons 20 дней назад
Not likely to be a massive power increase, but I think it is noticeable. I've noticed easier starting. I don't track mileage so I can't comment on that. It's a very reliable electronic ignition, especially compared to the OEM.
