The solution is based on a static readout via the vehicle&#8217;s OBD port, where DEKRA&#8217;s equipment retrieves data directly from the vehicle&#8217;s own battery management system (BMS). DEKRA Battery Readout is based on the vehicle&#8217;s own data and provides a quick overview of the high-voltage battery. The result is presented on a scale from 1 to 100 and provides an indicative picture of the battery&#8217;s capacity in a summary report. The entire process takes only approximately three minutes.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best suited for: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quick checks during trade-ins, in inventory, or at the workshop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indication during lease returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick valuations and transactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>DEKRA Battery Readout is simply the choice when speed and simplicity are most important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/our-battery-tests\/dekra-battery-readout\/\">Read more about DEKRA Battery Readout<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-bundle p-8 rounded-lg border border-neutral bg-white wp-block-bundle--wide\">\n    \n    \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">In-Depth Analysis: DEKRA Battery Test <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Our patented and independent battery test is DEKRA&#8217;s most comprehensive battery testing solution.

The method measures, among other things, the battery&#8217;s resistance to determine actual degradation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The test takes approximately 10\u201315 minutes and results in a certificate that shows how much the battery has degraded compared to a brand-new vehicle of the same model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best suited for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Purchase and sales decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Independent valuation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparisons between vehicle models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Situations where high accuracy is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>DEKRA Battery Test is therefore the right choice when you need maximum reliability and a strong decision-making basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/resurser\/kundcase\/dekra-battery-test\/\">Read more about DEKRA Battery Test<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-bundle wp-elements-fd68ea2eb0684bb0286230ffe15a3adc has-background has-primary-background-color has-neutral-pure-color p-8 rounded-lg border border-neutral bg-white wp-block-bundle--wide\">\n    \n    \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">The Key Differences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neutral-pure-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-17525d08f38794e23624182bc7ced34f\">Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-neutral-pure-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7aec36aa8e1ac0843453a69945de141c\">DEKRA Battery Readout: Is only a readout from the BMS and is based on the vehicle&#8217;s own data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-neutral-pure-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-939889fea6fa92c840a7b3abae73272e\">DEKRA Battery Test: Static + dynamic measurement under load.

Choose DEKRA Battery Test when you need an accurate, independent, and comparable result that holds up in a business situation. Do you need both speed and depth? Many businesses use our battery readout as an initial screening and our battery test when a vehicle requires a comprehensive analysis.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Order DEKRA&#8217;s SaaS Solution for Battery Testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>DEKRA&#8217;s Software as a Service solution (SaaS)<\/strong>, car dealers and workshops gain access to a professional and independent system for battery testing of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. The solution is developed to meet increased requirements for transparency, documentation, and efficiency in the used car trade.

This means you do not need to choose technology or installation in advance \u2013 the same system can deliver two different levels of analysis depending on your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, both tests begin with a secure connection via the vehicle&#8217;s OBD port. From there, the process can either stop at a quick static reading (battery readout) or be supplemented with the dynamic measurement required for a complete battery test and certificate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>DEKRA Battery Readout<\/td><td>DEKRA Battery Test <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td><td>Static (no movement)<\/td><td>Dynamic (short acceleration drive)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Data Source<\/strong><\/td><td>BMS data extraction<\/td><td>Independent measurement<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Time Required<\/strong><\/td><td>3 minutes<\/td><td>15 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Accuracy<\/strong><\/td><td>Indicative<\/td><td>Comprehensive<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Use Case<\/strong><\/td><td>Space-restricted areas<\/td><td>Independent certificate<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":2708,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2659","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2659"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2832,"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2659\/revisions\/2832"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekra-batteritest.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
