The sensor battery level appears inaccurate in the app

Sometimes the app may display a battery level that doesn’t match what you expect.
For example, you may have charged the sensor, but the app still shows a low percentage, or the value updates only after a delay. This behavior is common and usually does not indicate a hardware fault.


1. The battery level may not update immediately

The app may update some values with a delay, including the battery level.
This can happen when:

  • the Bluetooth connection is unstable,

  • the app is running in the background,

  • the phone temporarily limits app communication.


Once the connection stabilizes, the battery percentage usually corrects itself.


2. Bluetooth interference is the most common cause

During connection, there may be:

  • brief signal interference,

  • temporary loss of communication,

  • incomplete data transfer.


In such cases, the app may show an outdated or partial battery value.
 
Reconnecting the sensor usually fixes the reading. 


3. App-side issues may also affect battery display

Temporary software issues can cause visual or functional inaccuracies. These can typically be resolved by:

  • restarting the Elonga app,

  • checking the History section (unsaved records may disrupt functions),

  • reinstalling the app with cleared cache + data,

  • testing the sensor on another device.


4. Recommended troubleshooting steps

  • Disconnect and reconnect the sensor (Bluetooth reinitializes).

  • Restart the Elonga app.

  • Check Bluetooth stability.

  • Review the History section for unsaved or erroneous entries.

  • Reinstall the app (clear cache + data).

  • Test on another device if needed.


In most cases, the correct battery value appears after these steps.


5. When to contact support

If:

  • the battery value is consistently incorrect,

  • the sensor drains unusually fast,

  • the app does not show battery percentage at all,

We will need:

  • your device model,

  • operating system version,

  • app version,

  • a description of charging & connection behavior.


Summary

An inaccurate battery reading is usually caused by:

  • delayed data updates,

  • Bluetooth interference or dropouts,

  • temporary app issues,

  • unsaved History data.


The fix is simple: restart, reconnect, check the app, or reinstall.
