It is a box that connects to the so-called OBD (on-board diagnostic) interface of the vehicle, where it records battery data and transmits it to the Battery Data Cloud platform. This can be up to one million data points per hour for each test performed. The founders evaluated this data using algorithms that determine the battery\u2019s state of health. Finally, the customer receives the test report in the form of an official certificate from the German Technical Inspection Agency (T\u00dcV).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-78312262\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/first-of-its-kind-independent-comparable-battery-test-for-e-vehicles-launches\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"First-of-its-kind independent comparable battery test for e-vehicles launches\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">First-of-its-kind independent comparable battery test for e-vehicles launches<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Technicians Wolfgang Berger and Nikolaus Mayerhofer were both in the automotive industry when they decided to develop an independent battery test for so-called traction batteries.<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technicians Wolfgang Berger and Nikolaus Mayerhofer were both in the automotive industry when they decided to develop an independent battery test for so-called traction batteries in electric vehicles.
