Electric bicycle battery test

When buying or selling a used electric bike, one of the most important purchase decisions is to ask about the condition of the battery.
 
The diagnosis also provides information about how much capacity the battery still has. The examination takes about two hours and includes: 

  • The visual inspection of the battery
  • The function and condition of the charger
  • The condition of the battery and its capacity in watt-hours (Wh)
  • The behavior of the internal resistance of the battery

 
After completion of the inspection, you will receive a detailed measurement report. More information.
