Mini battery testing: an independent SOH certificate

We are testing 6 versions of the Mini, divided across 4 model groups. Within three minutes, you will know what the battery pack is still worth.

WHAT COMES OUT OF THE BATTERY PACK

What we read out from Minis

The Mini lineup ranges from fully electric to plug-in hybrid, which requires a different readout for each version. We retrieve the same values for both, so you can compare them side by side.

  • The SOH percentage: the actual capacity compared to the factory value

  • The cell balance: the voltage difference between the weakest and the strongest cell

  • The charging history: how often it has been fast-charged and how deeply it has been discharged

  • The warranty status of the battery pack

  • A comparison with similar cars of the same year of manufacture

Everything comes directly from the battery management system via the OBD port. No estimation based on age or mileage. Within three minutes, the CARA-certified certificate is ready, as a PDF and as a JPEG.

Which Minis we can test

A small but clear offering: the Mini Electric in three generations, plus the Countryman plug-in. In total, there are 6 Mini versions in our list, divided across 4 model groups, including Countryman Plug-in MY17+, Mini Electric MY24-25, and Mini Electric MY20-23.

We do not yet have enough measurements for Mini to provide a reliable picture. However, the same applies to every brand: the measurement reads the actual capacity, which often turns out differently than the mileage would suggest.

What a battery pack is worth depends less on the year of manufacture than on how it has been driven. Charging behavior, depth of discharge, and the number of fast-charging sessions together determine how much capacity remains. Consequently, with Mini, there is more variation between two cars from the same year than you would expect based on mileage alone.

The measurement is carried out via the OBD port. You will receive the SOH percentage, the cell balance, the warranty status, the charging history, and a comparison with similar cars, summarized in a CARA-certified certificate as a PDF and JPEG.

Model groups that we read

  • Countryman Plug-in MY17+ — 2 versions

  • Mini Electric MY24-25 — 2 versions

  • Mini Electric MY20-23 — 1 version

  • Mini Electric MY26+ — 1 version
