After having put one through some real world testing we are happy to now be able to provide them to our customers. And REC BMS compatible too!!

The tool works well. It reliably establishes coms with the regulator and provides access to the state of the unit. Programming is straightforward and the Help function, which is critical, is complete.
Thanks for your appreciation of the effort we put into this tool. It means a lot :)
OGM Energy is my go to supplier for REC, and Wakespeed. They always have what I need in stock, prices are good and shipping is fast and consistent.
Thanks so much!!
OGM is fantastic and Rick is extremely helpful. This is my third REC BMS!
Thanks Adam,
Good luck with your latest project ! :)
the wakespeed alt voltage regulator is a special component and priced right at ogm probably cheaper than other sources as i got the kit with shunt. correct me if i am wrong but i think ogm wrote their own software program for laptop use that codes the regulator as well as datalogs and has a much nicer interface than what i see wakespeed advertising. this software is an add on item that was part of my kit by promotion. my application is basically a land yacht (rv) and the goal is to have a diversified electrical generation system and as best i can tell now, the wakespeed is a key puzzle piece and integrates so well with my highoutput alternator. i wish i had a watercooled alternator as i read someone that did was able to basically achieve max output almost all the time, but having an aircooled unit the wakespeed will protect it. based of initial testing, i deem it feasible to to run 1 rooftop ac, basic chassis loads, and probably a tv with out running the generator by having a high output alternator with wakespeed with a good sized battery bank, rooftop solar, and integrated automatic generator start as a backup. that is under ideal conditions, and running the alternator at high loads produces a lot of heat so more testing will be done as well as working on piping fresh air to the alt. honorable mention to Rick for quality customer service, will work on my bms next.
Thanks for the great review and sharing your project with us! And yes, we developed the Windows 10/11 WS500 config tools. Glad it helped!
