The battery pack's usable life is determined by how long the company offers and maintains the app. I'm willing to bet that the app will not be around for more than 3 years.

That would be solvable by making the app open source, or by publishing the protocol so third parties can make software for it.

Hi! We might open source it at some point, although the app itself is just a thin client, and most of the code is on the battery and the backend

The main concern is confidence that the product will remain usable even if the company goes out of business or pivots and abandons this product. Being a thin client is great from that perspective because there's little incentive to keep it proprietary, and it should be easy for a third party to maintain if the company abandons it.

Hi! Thanks for your comment! The app does exist, and the video of the app is from real data! It’s our « admin app » and a « client app » just for end users is being developed

hello, not really, the app just gives you info about the cells and is useful to update the firmware but you can live without it. If we die before, will put it open source
