hi, for the blue charger IP67, does the bluetooth connectivity still run when the AC is off? (ie can it power from the battery?)

No, when the charger is unplugged it powers down - this is so that your battery charger isn't discharging your battery, as that would really irritate a lot of people.

Installation of a battery monitor like the SmartShunt or BMV-712 will enable you to monitor your battery SOC and other parameters full-time.

Editing to add: if you're only looking for basic voltage over bluetooth while off the hook, the Smart BatterySense is an option as well.
