Why you need an EV battery check.
The high-voltage battery is the heart — and most expensive component — of any EV or hybrid. Whether buying or selling, a professional battery health check gives you a clear understanding of the vehicle's true condition.
A battery pack can appear to be operating normally while still experiencing degradation, often with no warning lights displayed. Our advanced diagnostic tools assess battery condition and performance, including State of Health (SoH%) where supported by the vehicle.
Replacing a degraded EV battery can cost between $10,000–$30,000+. A professional battery diagnostic before purchase can help identify potential concerns and give you valuable information before you commit to buying the vehicle.
We check individual battery cell groups for imbalance, overheating history, and degraded cells that can cause sudden range loss or charging issues. Standard pre-purchase inspections cannot detect these problems.
Receive a comprehensive same-day diagnostic report written in clear, easy-to-understand language — helping buyers and sellers make informed decisions with confidence.
Our battery health report provides valuable information for negotiating, pricing, or proving battery condition. A lower SoH% can significantly affect vehicle value, while a healthy battery can help justify asking price.
Don't rely on the dashboard
A full battery indicator doesn't necessarily tell you the condition or health of an EV or hybrid battery. Professional diagnostic testing can provide valuable information about battery condition and performance that isn't available from the dashboard alone, including State of Health (SoH%) where supported by the vehicle, or a comprehensive battery health report based on the diagnostic data available.
Avoid costly surprises
Identifying battery, diagnostic or vehicle concerns before purchase can help you make a more informed decision and may provide valuable information before negotiating or proceeding with the vehicle.
Written report — same day
You receive a full written diagnostic report the same day — clear, detailed, and easy to understand — so you can confidently buy, sell, negotiate, or simply better understand the condition of the vehicle.
