When inspecting batteries in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), several specialized tools can be used for accurate diagnostics and testing. Here are some recommended tools:
- Hioki BT3564 High-Voltage Battery HiTester: This benchtop tester supports simultaneous measurement of internal resistance and battery voltage for EV and PHEV battery packs, with a maximum input voltage of 1000V. It is ideal for production line testing and measuring pack voltage, total resistance, and bus bar resistance.
- AVILOO PREMIUM Battery Test: This TÜV-certified test provides detailed information about the state of health of the drive battery in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, ensuring comprehensive diagnostics.
- NuVant EVd-40 Power Tester: Although primarily for quality control in aftermarket battery production, this tool offers powerful discharge and charging capabilities. It includes high power discharge technology and a sophisticated charger, which can be adapted for inspecting PHEV batteries by monitoring module voltages during discharge.
Choosing the right tool depends on the specific requirements of the inspection, such as whether you need to measure voltage, resistance, or perform discharge tests.
