Any day. It took us some time to make it work with Apple products, but now we're all set.
It's a plug and play box, which we're about to sell. It's a "black box" with a 12 V power input and a USB cable. It's pretty straightforward:
- Power it; connect it to the Lithiumate
- Select the "Lithiumate" WiFi network on your device; enter "elithion" as the password
- Open a browser, go to 10.1.1.1
Indeed it's a "great" price. I was afraid of that. Some people are too greedy
$228-$158=$70 for the greedy dealer who does nothing and allready got a chunk of money when he sold the BMS.
This is not a separate product is an improvement of the product making it more attractive for the buyers.
And don't get me rong, I consider your BMS being a very good one and you are free to charge how much you want for it, but after purchasing the BMS I needed to buy extra cell boards and the stealer charged me an insane price, and I did buy the system from the same stealer, and now I refuse to pay the stealer for a product feature who should be included in the product from the beginning.

$31, not $70
Please do let us know how it works out for you, how much it ends up costing you, and how many hours you'll spend on it.
I respect that, so I am offering you the instruction on building your own WiFi Hot-spot, courtesy of Peter Chave.

If it's working with others smartphone, not only with the iPhone, then it's the perfect solution for me.
I will look into it.
1PR0106M - Elithion 106mm Cell Board (Middle) $15.00 each
106N1PR0106N - Elithion 106mm Cell Board (Negative) $26.00 each
106P1PR0106P - Elithion 106mm Cell Board (Positive) $17.00 each
The reason for needing more cell boards was that I changed my battery configuration going for more cells , when I ordered it, I wasn't planning for so many cells.
Make sure you got enough cell boards and some extra with your BMS order otherwise you will pay again for the "honor of doing business"

Sorry for being so late in seeing this.
The Hairball serial port is referenced to chassis ground, not the battery pack. So it should be safe as I expect the same from Elithion.
Also, the Hairball RJ serial port has a +12V pin (unregulated) which could be used to drive a 5V regulator to run the BT module.
Or, you could run this part http://www.rovingnetworks.com/products/RN240 which can use 4-12V in. Since the Hairball output is unregulated and just comes from the SLI +14 In, it would be advisable to drop the 12V down with a 1 Watt 5.1V zener diode in series with the 12V supply.
I have been intending to make a solution similar to the new Elithion wifi connection since we need to move forward from the simple serial and offer access to all devices. It looks like Peter Chave has done most of the work. Thanks Peter! I was also planning on using the Rasberry Pi. Seeing this, I'll look into extending his design to access the Zilla Hairball as well.

Yes, the Elithion Lithiumate BMS is referenced to chassis ground.
Yes, thank you to Peter Chave!
We did end up doing it all from scratch, because Peter's solution has some fundamental issues that are insurmountable. Still, it was Peter who inspired us on the general approach.
We ended up doing the whole project using Python and Ajax, instead of PHP and iframes.
If you want more details, if you think it might help you in your project, please contact me off line and I'll talk to you about it.
