    Have you tried deleting/reinstall the app? Sorry see you've tried two devices still wouldn't hurt to reinstall.

    The BMS on the 36v battery has a sleep feature to prevent the bluetooth from draining power from the battery during long term storage, once you charge or pull power the bluetooth should wake up and the battery should be visible on the app, sent you an updated email also but wanted to post here incase anyone else had this issue.

    My order from Andy came in today. My BT worked as designed on all 4 batteries. I had to get 30+ yards away from the other 3 to pair and rename the first battery.

    Got mine as well. 3 100s came last week along with the charger and the 125 showed up today. My bluetooth worked fine in the shop. Paired and renamed all three in about 5 minutes. Too much to ask to get it to go through the metal building and 50 yards to the house. Think I am going to love them.

    he has the new 36v, the BMS is different in a 36v and had more power draw due to casting a constant signal, the sleep feature was added to prevent power drain when battery sits for a long period of time
    it will wake up when it receives 36+ volts or by running a 36v TM and pull some current

    Got mine 3 50ah from Drew on Friday, 1 day shipping . Tested them Sunday and they were awesome. Can't wait to use them during tournaments. Love the Bluetooth feature.
