Testing an Opel battery: an independent SOH certificate
We are testing 14 Opel versions, divided over 11 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 Opels
The vast majority of the Opel versions in our list are fully electric, from the early models to the newest generation. For the older versions, the readout is the most important, as that is where the variation between cars increases the most.
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 Opels we can test
Much shared technology with Peugeot and Citroën, including the vans. In total, there are 14 Opel versions in our list, divided across 11 model groups, including Grandland Electric, Vivaro-e, Zafira-e Life.
We do not yet have enough measurements from Opel to provide a reliable picture. However, the same applies to every brand: the measurement reads the actual capacity, and this regularly 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. With Opel, there is therefore more difference between two cars from the same year than you would expect based on the mileage.
The measurement runs 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 a JPEG.
