International Battery Test Reveals the Condition of Your Electric Vehicle or Plug-In Hybrid Battery
Used electric vehicles sold at Saka have their batteries tested using the Austrian Aviloo battery test. The test provides a comprehensive report on the battery's condition, so you know exactly what state the battery is in for the car you're purchasing.
The battery's condition is compared to other test results from similar vehicles of the same make. Aviloo operates internationally, meaning comparable data is available for all tested vehicle models.
The Aviloo battery test is performed on all car makes and models for which it can be conducted. You can find a detailed list of vehicle models on Aviloo's website here. What Does the Aviloo Battery Test Include?
The Aviloo battery test tells you the condition of the battery in an electrified vehicle, provides a comparative analysis against similar vehicles, checks the battery management systems and sensors, and delivers a condition assessment based on those findings.
The image shows an example of a battery test result for a Volvo XC90 with 111,000 kilometers driven, displaying the SoH value and a comparative analysis against other similar vehicle models.
Battery condition is expressed as a SoH value (State of Health), ranging from 0–100%. As a general guideline:
90% or above means the battery is in excellent condition
80–89% is a normal, good condition for a battery
Below 80% means the condition is slightly below good, but not necessarily problematic yet
Below 70% is the battery warranty threshold for many manufacturers, which may qualify the battery for replacement. The condition has deteriorated, but it is not non-functional.
The battery's energy content, or battery size, is expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh). In plug-in hybrids, it is typically around 10–20 kWh, and in electric vehicles it can range anywhere from 40–120 kWh. The report shows the battery's gross and net capacity, compares it to a new battery, and estimates the current range according to the WLTP cycle as well as in relation to real-world use.
The battery condition is further described by a cell voltage assessment, which examines the battery cells and the voltage differences between them. A single weak cell with low voltage can cause inconsistencies across the entire battery and reduce range and capacity. Repairing one faulty cell is not as costly as replacing the entire battery, so the issue is not necessarily a major one.
Where Can I View the Aviloo Battery Test Report?
You can independently download the Aviloo battery test report for any vehicle you're interested in from the
Vehicle Condition tab in the car's details. The same tab also contains a third-party vehicle condition report. Learn more about our used vehicle
condition inspections.
If you notice anything missing from the vehicle condition reports (for example, if the Aviloo battery test or condition report is absent from the vehicle's details), ask our sales team directly!
