Hybrid vehicles

Hybrid and electric vehicles are getting popular around the globe. Their sales are increasingly growing due to the governmental support and promotion of green products.

A lot of people today choose electric cars since their advantages are quite obvious and include the following:

1. economical efficiency;
2. simplicity and ease of use;
3. long service life;
4. low maintenance and repair costs
5. ACEA data show that in 2020, electric and hybrid vehicles made up 59% of total passenger car sales, which in nominal terms is 1.046 million green vehicles. 

A trouble spot of an electric vehicle

A service experience of hybrid and electric vehicles proves that a high-voltage battery is their trouble spot. The service life of a hybrid battery can vary depending on the performance characteristics, car make, model, or generation. 

Replacement of a failed battery with the new one is rather expensive, which is why the repair of a hybrid vehicle battery is a highly demanded service nowadays. The repair expenses are lower compared to the cost of the new battery, 

Diagnostics of a faulty battery

Before its repair, the battery should be diagnosed. The battery capacity test is required to detect capacity loss in some of the cells. 

MSG Equipment has designed a tester for hybrid vehicle batteries –MS800.

The tester can measure the capacity of 36 battery modules at the same time. It can operate in an automatic mode and has protection against the reverse polarity, short-circuit fault, and overheating.

The advantages of testerMS800:

• The device has an elegant design, doesn't take much space, and is user-friendly.
• The operator can set the test mode, charging/discharging cycles, and other parameters.
• The process is performed in two steps: quick charging and trickle charging. 
• Each of the channels has an indicator that shows the current voltage.  
• Diagnostic results can be saved. 

The use of the new and up-to-date equipment for diagnostics and repair of electric and hybrid vehicles at car workshops allows repair technicians to test batteries in a fast and quality manner. By purchasing tester MS800, you shorten the time of repair and grow more customers.
