This is the same, different branding . . NZ local car accessory specialist shop, how does the price compare to your Australian offering?

That's where I saw it, at the local Jaycar store.. 
I was looking for something today and saw them under a different brand.
Did a quick google search and picked one up from ebay for $28 delivered, local supplier (hopefully)
Anyways, I will wait for it to land and see what it's like.

These Bluetooth devices like this particular one are really unnecessary and a bit of a gimmick really.
I have a volt meter built into my Bel radar detector and have that displayed all the time so I’m monitoring my charging system all the time while I’m riding.
As far as testing my battery, I have a 1 year old Yuasa installed and have it on a battery tender whenever the bike is parked, so I know it’s always at optimum charge capacity.
If I bought one of these it would be a toy to play with, I’d be bored with it in no time, and it would be a waste of money for me, I’ve been down this road many times lol.

My first thought too. Has to be using some power to transmit blue tooth. Maybe it totally shuts down till you open the app on your phone?

I dont have experience with this exact one. I bought a neutrino black box that shows volts and what not.
don't mention that Neutrino here! we are only allowed to discuss accessories that cost less than $100.
My ZX14R has a volt meter standard ..... hahahahah , BUT , my Busa don't need one because I pamper to its every need ... meaning I maintain its special battery . Running matched Shorai batteries on the bikes now , so easy with charging .

Agree totally. All my bikes have had battery tenders connected when not ridden more than 2-3 days.
And it may very well be a cheap pos, but for $28, I'm willing to see what it does.
From reading the manual, what I do like is the ability to do: (below)
Which seems more than just a volt meter, and maybe useful if it works as described.
Even connecting for diag purposes only then disconnecting??
And, yes, I can do the same with a multimeter for some testing, but my Fluke doesn't have 12Hr or ride record function.
