Battery diagnostics in 15 minutes

Mahle Aftermarket has launched its new E-Health Charge battery diagnostics solution in Europe, which provides reliable information on the "state of health" and performance of the high-voltage battery in electric cars. The analysis is carried out on a stationary vehicle. The high-voltage battery is charged at the same time. With a maximum measurement time of 15 minutes, it is currently the fastest static battery diagnosis on the market, according to the company.

The diagnostic system consists of the E-Charge 20 battery charger and the E-Health app and combines charging and battery diagnostics in a single operation. The application is vehicle and manufacturer-independent. E-Health Charge can also be used purely as a DC charger. Thanks to the automated process, no prior knowledge is required on the part of the service team.

E-Health Charge includes the E-CHARGE 20 battery charger, which has an output of 20 kW and can also be used as a pure charger for fully electric vehicles, regardless of the diagnostics. Mahle is already supplying it in Italy, Portugal, Serbia and Poland. Germany and the Netherlands will be the next markets to follow.

Mahle is working with battery specialist Volytica Diagnostics to evaluate the data collected by the charger and the OBD interface. It views the data in a secure cloud, classifies it in relation to previously recorded batteries of the same type and compares it with the original capacity of the vehicle model. The final report is available by email after a short time. (aum)
