Help me save my little-used car's batteries painlessly!

My wife and I have several two person cars and especially during the COVID fiasco these cars were not driven as much as they should have been. My wife's sports car in particular continued to suffer from "Won't start, low battery" which resulted in me having to disconnect and charge the battery. (For some reason the car's electrical system doesn't seem to be charging the battery while it's plugged in. This causes problems with the entire electrical system, especially when the battery is below starting voltage!) So I put this on her car. . without having to disable anything. and can detect if the vehicle needs to be driven (or charged locally) long before the battery is too discharged. It's surprisingly easy to use. Just plug it into the battery port and run the smartphone app (of course you need to connect it to your smartphone to use it!). It offers you multiple testing options and loads of data. I'm very, very happy with how it allows me to monitor all of the batteries in all of our vehicles almost painlessly in minutes and spot problems long before they "show stopping problems". I think it will be better. and we will eventually get there. will be the same small and simple device capable of connecting to the application, but also with "offline" functionality (though perhaps a little less detailed in terms of available results). This is the "receiving" that I am. I'm very, very lucky to be in my hands. I will use this for many years. As long as the app stays available and can work, that's ideal. Should the manufacturer eventually stop supporting the app, this device could of course become a paperweight. While this is extremely convenient and useful, every potential buyer should keep this in mind. Today it works wonderfully. Hopefully it will continue to work in the future, but it's POSSIBLY possible that it can be "turned off" at any time, so that's the main problem that every one of us should have, I think.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
