Smartville has introduced Periscope™, an innovative tool designed to assess the state of health (SoH) and safety of electric vehicle (EV) traction batteries. Unlike traditional methods that require extensive and costly equipment like battery cyclers, Periscope™ offers a rapid and user-friendly alternative that can evaluate battery packs within or outside of vehicles. The device is self-powered, equipped with WiFi, and capable of interfacing with the battery management system to provide detailed diagnostics down to individual cell levels. This feature is particularly valuable for identifying safety risks and assessing the best second-life use for batteries, such as re-use in EVs, repurposing for energy storage, or recycling. The ability to quickly generate reports and upload data wirelessly through Smartville’s Whole Battery Catalog™ ensures easy access and sharing of battery health information.
Early adopters, like Oleg Kushnir of Donut Auto Parts, praise Periscope™ for its ease of use, portability, and the comprehensive data it provides, which aids in making informed business decisions. The tool’s accessibility and affordability make it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes looking to enhance transparency and efficiency in EV battery transactions. Periscope™ is not just a testing device; it’s positioned as a strategic investment in the evolving EV battery circularity ecosystem, offering both financial and environmental benefits by unlocking the full value of used batteries.
