Question 1

What exactly do I get for $249?

Accepted Answer

One mobile battery assessment and an instant written report at the vehicle. It includes the battery’s State of Health, usable energy, cell voltage delta, pack temperature behaviour, stored and pending high-voltage fault codes, realistic range and a five-year SOH projection. There is no travel fee inside the service area.

Question 2

What does State of Health mean?

Accepted Answer

It is the battery’s remaining capacity as a percentage of its original factory capacity, read from the battery management system’s own data and analysed against the factory specification — a far more detailed picture than the dashboard’s changing range estimate. The report also shows cell voltage spread, because a single SOH number cannot reveal how evenly the cells perform.

Question 3

Is the test certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes — battery electric vehicles are tested with the AVILOO FLASH test, which holds CARA Approved certification from CARA Europe (the Car Remarketing Association Europe), a non-profit set up by key players in the used-car industry. Its Battery Health Check scheme certifies State of Health test methods so used EVs can change hands with buyer confidence. The certification belongs to AVILOO’s FLASH test method and is listed publicly at cara-europe.org/battery-health. Note the method reads and analyses the battery management system’s own data down to cell level — it is not a discharge or stress test.

Question 4

Can you test my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We test every electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicle, including models that are not listed in our online dropdowns — choose “Other / model not listed” and type it in. We test every electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicle. Which measurements appear in your report depends on the vehicle’s diagnostic protocol, and we confirm those with you at the appointment.

Question 5

Do hybrids work differently?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Battery electric vehicles are tested with AVILOO FLASH. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are tested with dedicated hybrid battery diagnostic equipment instead, because their battery architecture and diagnostic protocols differ, so the available outputs can differ. The price, the mobile service and the instant written report are the same, and we explain the outputs for your vehicle at the appointment.

Question 6

Do I pay when I book?

Accepted Answer

Secure online payment confirms your booking. Booking online reserves a date and an AM or PM session. Payment is arranged directly with you.

Question 7

Will I be given an exact arrival time?

Accepted Answer

Not at the time of booking. You choose a morning (AM) or afternoon (PM) session, and the exact arrival time and attendance details are confirmed with you when we contact you about the appointment.

Question 8

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Sydney, Central Coast, Blue Mountains + Wollongong book online. Newcastle is also covered, but by phone booking only — contact us to arrange. If your suburb sits outside the listed areas, confirm coverage with us before booking.

Question 9

Is the battery opened or dismantled?

Accepted Answer

No. The test is read-only: nothing is written to the vehicle, nothing is dismantled and no repair work is performed.

Question 10

Does the report include a future outlook?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The paid report includes a five-year State of Health projection modelled from the tested State of Health and the pack’s charge and discharge behaviour, including projected distance to the 70% manufacturer warranty floor. The public calculator only demonstrates the shape of a projection and does not test a battery.

Question 11

Where is the test carried out?

Accepted Answer

At the vehicle. We are fully mobile and can attend a seller’s home, dealership, auction yard or workplace. There is no workshop and you do not need to drive anywhere.
