Reliable Results in Just 15 Minutes – With Our Battery Test for Electric Cars
Battery Test for Electric Cars
Get a Transparent Evaluation of a Used EV Battery’s Capacity, Performance and Value.
As electromobility experts with many years of experience, we know about the importance of an electric car battery. It is the primary marker of an electric vehicle ‘s (EV) or plug-in hybrid ‘s value and unfavorable conditions such as an inefficient driving style, extreme temperatures and the number of charging cycles can diminish its capacity. With our Battery Test for Electric Cars, you can look beneath the surface and gain an accurate picture of the State of Health of a used electric car’s battery.
Available in various European countries and covering a large number of electric car models from different manufacturers, our web-based solution provides neutral, objective and independent battery test results that you can rely on when using, buying and selling used electric cars – in just 15 minutes.
Fast
The analysis of the battery State of Health of an electric car only takes 15 minutes and offers an excellent time/accuracy ratio thanks to our comprehensive database and patented algorithm.
Independent
No reliance on manufacturer data or information from the seller – our experienced experts act independently and conduct our unique, verifiable and patented test based on real-time data collected during the test.
Transparent
The simple, transparent test process of connect – accelerate – report determines the remaining battery capacity with immediate test results provided via e-mail.
The Battery Test Process 4 Easy Steps
In 15 minutes and four steps, you can determine the capacity of a used electric car battery with our web-based application:
Open the DEKRA Battery Test web application on your smartphone and connect the car with the Vehicle Communication Interface.
After entering the general vehicledata, the system retrieves the necessary diagnostic data to ensure the car’s general test readiness.
Now itʼs time to get behind the wheel as the relevant performance data can only be gathered while the electric car is moving. A brief acceleration over approx. 100 m is enough to provide the necessary data set.
The evaluation is ready in minutes and shows the residual battery capacity in a clear, comprehensible format which you will receive the report via e-mail.
DEKRA’s Battery Test for Electric Cars and its patented algorithm has been validated by the prestigious RWTH Aachen University. The test is sophisticated, fast and precise, with the added benefit of providing an independent and objective assessment of the residual battery capacity of these electric cars. This helps promote transparency and trust surrounding used EV sales.
What factors affect aging of an EV battery?
As the battery ages, its capacity gradually decreases, affecting the vehicle’s range. Furthermore, aging of the traction battery of an electric car means deterioration of the battery’s characteristics. In addition, high and low temperatures, overcharging (high voltage), deep discharging (low voltage), and high charging currents affect the EV battery’s State of Health and, consequently, its capacity.
Why is it important to know the remaining capacity of an EV battery?
