Battery check: How much power is still available and what range can be expected?

The traction battery is the heart of every electric vehicle – and also its most expensive component. Its condition determines range, safety, residual value, and warranty claims. With our professional measuring system, we assess the actual state of health of your EV battery – independently, precisely, and across all manufacturers.

Karl-Peter Geburzi (Owner, automotive expert)

Why a battery check with a battery report is important

The battery of an electric car can account for up to 50% of the vehicle's total value. Its condition affects:

  • the actual range
  • the resale value
  • Warranty and goodwill claims
  • the safety of the vehicle
  • cost-effectiveness in company vehicles


GTÜ and ADAC point out that a professional battery check is crucial for the used car market and objectively determines the battery's health.

When a battery assessment is absolutely necessary

  1. Buying or selling a used car
    A certified battery report (battery check) creates trust and increases the vehicle's value.
  2. Lease returns
    Avoiding unnecessary costs during returns.
  3. Warranty and goodwill cases
    Objective data for submission to the manufacturer or insurance company.
  4. Accident reports for electric vehicles
    Assessment of potential battery damage after an accident.
  5. Company vehicles & fleets
    Planning of replacement investments and range management.
  6. Check range loss
    When the vehicle noticeably travels a shorter distance than before.

Frequently asked questions about battery reports

  • For which vehicles is the battery check suitable?

    • Battery electric vehicles (BEVs)
    • Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs)
    • Electric vans
    • Electric commercial vehicles
    • Electric motorhomes (depending on the model)

  • How does the battery check work for electric vehicles?

    We connect a professional measuring device to your vehicle's diagnostic interface. Depending on the model, we perform either a stationary measurement or a short test drive. We then analyze all relevant battery parameters and create a clear and concise battery health report.

  • What does "State of Health (SoH)" mean?

    The state of health (SoH) indicates how much capacity the battery still has compared to its original state. An SoH of 90% means the battery still has 90% of its original energy. This value is crucial for range, residual value, and warranty claims.

  • How long does the measurement take?

    Depending on the vehicle model, the battery check takes between 30 and 90 minutes. The evaluation and report usually follow on the same day.

  • Can I have the battery check performed on site?

    Yes. We come directly to you throughout the Oberland region and in Munich – to your home, your workplace or your workshop.

  • Why is a battery check important when buying a used car?

    The battery is the most expensive component of an electric car. A professional battery check reveals the true health of the battery – independent of vehicle displays or manufacturer specifications. This protects both buyers and sellers.

  • Could the battery have been damaged in an accident?

    Yes. Even without visible damage, cells, modules, or sensors can be affected. A battery check is therefore an important part of an accident report for electric vehicles.

  • Will I receive a written result?

    Yes. You will receive a clear, understandable report on the battery's condition – ideal for purchase, sale, lease return, warranty claims, or disputes.

  • Will the insurance cover the costs?

    In the case of an accident that is not your fault, the opposing insurance company usually covers the costs of the battery diagnosis if it is required for the expert report.

  • How often should the battery be checked?

  • It is recommended to check:
  • before buying or selling
  • before returning a leased vehicle
  • in case of noticeable range loss
  • after an accident
  • in warranty or goodwill cases
