Outdated software, blue screen on my computer running Windows 10. Attach to Blue Booth engine

Outdated software, blue screen on my computer running Windows 10. Attach to Blue Booth engine. Not intuitive at all. I was really looking forward to using this to keep track of my usage and stats throughout the day. But after spending far more time getting it to work than I should have (without instructions) it lacked brilliance. It shows everything you see on the MT50 remote and you can program it BUT I noticed one thing that bothers me. I am using LiFepo4 cells with my charge controller and when I set the parameters to MT50 to NOT equalize, after pressing 'Read', the software on the PC reading data from the charge controller showed that the equalization time was 120 minutes , where it shouldn't be. Not be. For those in the know, this spells death for LiFepo4 cells, as they are essentially a "controlled recharge" designed for lead-acid batteries. I would really like to update the software as they sell this item with new equipment and as accessories.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some difficulties
