Mahle Aftermarket has introduced its battery diagnostic system E-Health Charge to the European market.
E-Health Charge delivers reports on the state of health and performance of electric vehicles’ high-voltage batteries. With a maximum run time of 15 minutes, this system claims to represent the fastest static battery diagnostic technology on the market.
The diagnostic system – consisting of the ECharge 20 battery charger and the E-Health app – combines charging and battery diagnostics into one workflow. The process functions regardless of make and model. E-HEALTH Charge can also be used purely as a DC charger in addition to the diagnostic function.
Thanks to the automated process, the system requires no prior knowledge from the service team. Thanks to the E-Health Charge battery diagnosis, mechanics are said to be able to quickly and easily determine the state of health of high-voltage batteries with minimal effort. The diagnosis is performed upon stationary vehicles. The vehicle’s battery is simultaneously charged during this process. For the evaluation of the data – collected from both the charging device as well as the vehicle’s OBD-Port – MAHLE works in cooperation with volytica diagnostics.
The battery specialist uploads the data to a secure cloud, analyses the values relative to those from batteries of the same type, and finally compares the results against the original capacity of the vehicle model. The final report is made available by email soon afterwards.
