A key component of the E-HEALTH Charge system is the E-CHARGE 20 battery charging device, capable of delivering 20 kW of power. Beyond its diagnostic capabilities, this device serves as a fully functional charger for EVs. Already deployed in Italy, Portugal, Serbia, and Poland, it is soon to be introduced in Germany and the Netherlands.
Thanks to E-HEALTH Charge, mechanics can swiftly assess the health of high-voltage batteries with minimal effort, even while the vehicle is stationary. During the diagnostic process, the battery is simultaneously charged, ensuring maximum efficiency.
To analyze the data collected from the charging device and the vehicle's OBD-Port, Mahle collaborates with volytica diagnostics. The battery specialist uploads the data to a secure cloud, where it is compared against values from batteries of the same type and the original capacity of the vehicle model. The comprehensive report is then delivered via email, providing invaluable insights into the battery's condition.
With Mahle's E-HEALTH Charge, electric vehicle owners and service providers can now diagnose and maintain high-voltage batteries more efficiently than ever before, ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of EVs.
