Ever come back to your motorhome, caravan, campervan or classic car to find the battery flat?

Batteries don't go flat all at once. They drain quietly while the vehicle sits, and you only find out when nothing works or the engine won't start.

BattWatcher fixes that.

Click for the Quick Start Guide

It keeps an eye on two 12v batteries around the clock, your vehicle starter battery and your leisure battery. If either one starts getting low, it texts your phone in plain English with the voltage and when there's room, roughly how long until it's critical. Text it whenever it's online and it tells you how both batteries are doing.

Quiet when all is well. Straight to your phone when it isn't.

No app. No account. No Bluetooth. No subscription. Just a text, and a simple setup page on your phone.

What BattWatcher does

  • Watches two batteries at once, the vehicle starter battery and the leisure battery, or just one if that's all you need.

  • Texts you when a battery is getting LOW, when it's CRITICAL, when it's FLAT, and again when it's OK, with the voltage and an estimate of the time to the next level when there's room.

  • Alerts go to up to four mobile numbers, so the whole family or your storage site can know.

  • Works with lead-acid batteries, including flooded, AGM and gel, or lithium LiFePO4, with wording to suit each.

  • Slowly draining warning if a battery is losing a little charge every day.

  • Battery voltage very HIGH warning if the charging system may be faulty.

  • Engine starting won't cause false alarms. BattWatcher ignores the short dip while the engine starts.

  • Checks the alert is real before texting, so a passing load or a single odd reading won't set it off.

  • Weekly check text every Sunday morning, so you know BattWatcher is still on duty. It also keeps the SIM in use.

  • Text 1234 STATUS for both batteries right now.

  • Optional daily text window. BattWatcher stays online at a time you choose and answers straight away.

  • Uses 4G, so it keeps working after the older 2G and 3G networks are switched off.

  • Sleeps most of the time to look after your batteries.

Discreet features

Please note. These features are an extra, not a replacement for an approved vehicle tracker. If your insurer asks for an approved tracker, keep using it alongside BattWatcher.

  • Text LOCATE and BattWatcher replies with a Google Maps link to its rough area, worked out from nearby phone masts.

  • Text TRACK if the vehicle is stolen, and it texts its rough position every hour until you text HOME.

  • Text AWAY before a trip so your own journeys aren't reported.
