Bluetooth apps display protection measures

Created by Scott Chen, Modified on Mon, 2 Feb at 12:56 AM by Scott Chen

The Bluetooth app can display when a protection measure is active (such as over-current, over-voltage, or temperature protection). However, most apps only indicate the protection type, not the root cause. Repeated protection events usually point to wiring, charger, or load issues rather than a defective battery.


How BT Apps Show Protection Measures

✅ 1) Status Flags / Icons

Many apps show simple indicators such as:

  • Over-voltage

  • Under-voltage

  • Over-current

  • Short circuit

  • High temperature

  • Low temperature (charge blocked)

These appear as:

  • Green = normal

  • Red / Yellow = active protection


✅ 2) Protection Status Page

Some apps have a dedicated page called:

  • Protection Status

  • Alarm Information

  • Fault Information

  • Protection Records

This page lists each protection type with:

  • ON / OFF

  • Triggered / Normal


? Battery Protection Measures – Troubleshooting Guide (Dealer Use)

Protection TriggeredWhat It MeansMost Common CausesWhat to Check / Correct
Over-Charge ProtectionVoltage too highCharger set too high; wrong charger typeVerify charger is LiFePO₄ profile; set bulk/absorption to 14.4–14.6V (12V system)
Over-Discharge ProtectionVoltage too lowBattery deeply discharged; parasitic loadsRecharge immediately; check for loads left on; verify LVD settings
Over-Current Protection (Discharge)Load exceeds ratingInverter/motor too large; surge current; undersized batteryCompare load amps vs battery rating; reduce load or use higher-C battery
Over-Current Protection (Charge)Charge rate too highCharger too large; alternator direct chargeLimit charge current; use DC-DC charger or current-limited charger
Short-Circuit ProtectionDirect short detectedWiring fault; damaged insulationInspect cables; check polarity; repair wiring before reconnecting
High-Temperature ProtectionBattery too hotPoor ventilation; high ambient temp; high currentImprove airflow; reduce load; move battery away from heat sources
Low-Temperature Charge ProtectionCharging below 0°CCold environment; no heaterWarm battery; enable internal heater (if equipped); relocate battery
Cell Imbalance ProtectionCells drifting apartNo recent full charge; aging packPerform full charge; allow balancing to complete
Communication FaultApp/BMS comm errorApp glitch; Bluetooth issuePower-cycle battery; reconnect app

? If Protection Clears After Fix

Normal behavior.
Battery is functioning as designed.


? If Protection Triggers Repeatedly

Usually indicates:

  • Undersized wiring

  • Incorrect charger profile

  • Load too large

  • Installation issue

Not typically a defective battery.


? Dealer Talking Point (Short Version)

“Protection events mean the battery is protecting itself. It does not mean failure. Repeated protection events usually point to wiring, charger settings, or load sizing issues.”


✅ Best Practices to Prevent Protection Triggers

  • Use LiFePO₄-compatible chargers

  • Size battery for real load current

  • Use proper cable gauge & fusing

  • Provide ventilation

  • Avoid charging below freezing
