DEKRA Battery Test

For in-depth analysis, DEKRA offers an independent battery test that combines both static and dynamic testing. DEKRA Battery Test provides you with a clear and reliable value between 1 and 100 for the battery's state of health (SoH) and is comparable across vehicle models from different manufacturers. The test is validated and patented, and shows how much the battery has degraded from a baseline value for a brand-new electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid.

New battery center in Germany

DEKRA has inaugurated a new state-of-the-art battery test center in Germany.

The centre is an important building block in DEKRA’s strategy to develop testing and testing services for the next generation of electric vehicles. Here, all types of tests are carried out under one roof – from mechanical and environmental tests to so-called “abuse tests”, where batteries are exposed to extreme stresses far beyond normal use. The aim is to guarantee the highest possible safety standards and reliability.
