With the popularization of new energy vehicles, auto repair service stations are facing new opportunities and challenges. Traditional gasoline vehicle repair systems can no longer fully meet the needs of the new era, especially in the core area of power battery maintenance. Many service stations are facing a common dilemma: when vehicles come in need of battery pack inspection or maintenance, traditional methods are often inefficient and cumbersome, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also potentially leading to customer complaints due to inaccurate diagnosis.
Against this backdrop, Guheng Energy, as a provider deeply rooted in new energy technology solutions, understands your pain points and is committed to helping you transform and upgrade with professional tools. Today, we will explore how the portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance tool, with its high efficiency, accuracy, and portability, can reshape the workflow of repair service stations and become a core tool for improving your competitiveness and efficiency.
The Dilemma of Traditional Maintenance: The Root Cause of Inefficiency
Before introducing new tools, we first need to understand the limitations of traditional methods. Many service stations still use outdated, bulky equipment for battery pack charge/discharge testing and maintenance, directly leading to three major efficiency bottlenecks:
- Cumbersome and Time-Consuming Operation: Traditional solutions often require multiple devices, complex wiring, and manual parameter settings by technicians, consuming significant time during preparation.
- Long Testing Cycles, Impacting Workstation Turnover: Limited by equipment power, rate control, and the lack of intelligent cutoff strategies, traditional charge/discharge tests are often lengthy, with a complete process potentially lasting several hours. This results in vehicles occupying workstations for extended periods, severely impacting the service station’s capacity and productivity.
- Ambiguous Diagnostic Data, Reliant on Technician Experience: Traditional equipment typically only provides basic voltage and current readings, lacking precise analysis of key parameters such as battery capacity, state of health (SOH), and internal resistance. Diagnostic results largely depend on the technician’s personal experience, are difficult to quantify, and are prone to misjudgment.
Efficiency Innovation: How Guheng Energy’s Portable Battery Pack Charge/Discharge Maintenance Equipment Breaks the Mold
Addressing the aforementioned pain points, Guheng Energy’s PBM-B series portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance equipment was designed from the outset with “improving efficiency” as its core objective. It’s not just a device, but a complete solution.
Integrated Design, Simplified Operation
The PBM-B series portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance equipment highly integrates charging, discharging, capacity testing, module voltage consistency detection, and auxiliary balancing functions. Its supported multi-step workflow allows technicians to pre-set test procedures, which the equipment executes automatically without requiring equipment changes or manual intervention, greatly simplifying operation and freeing technicians from tedious tasks.
Fast Charging/Discharging and Precise Cutoff, Shortening Testing Time
This series of products utilizes efficient power electronic conversion technology to achieve rapid charging and discharging capabilities. More importantly, it supports multiple cutoff conditions, including group voltage, capacity, SOC (State of Charge), operating time, and even individual cell voltage. This means the equipment can automatically stop testing based on preset, precise conditions, avoiding the time wastage and safety risks caused by overcharging or over-discharging, and intelligently shortening ineffective waiting time.
Data-Driven Diagnostics, Improving Decision-Making Efficiency
The PBM-B series portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance equipment has a built-in data storage function that can automatically generate detailed test reports. Through CAN communication, the device can interact with the battery pack BMS to obtain key information within the pack and can also achieve control of test circuits or external relays via CAN communication. With the optional external battery voltage and temperature acquisition module, the status of each individual cell can be further understood. This upgrades diagnostics from “experience-driven” to “data-driven,” helping technicians quickly and accurately locate the root cause of faults and develop the optimal repair plan.
Portability: An Extension from Fixed Workstations to Mobile Service
The word “portable” brings a qualitative leap to repair efficiency. Unlike traditional bulky and cumbersome load cases, the PBM-B series portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance equipment features a compact, small, and lightweight design. Its bottom wheels allow for easy movement within the repair shop. Whether at a standard repair bay, a vehicle waiting for repair in a corner, or even in a safe roadside assistance or on-site inspection scenario, technicians can easily carry it to the vehicle, achieving “equipment finding the person,” rather than “person finding the equipment.” Combined with its built-in test result printing function, technicians can instantly provide customers with a professional and reliable test report, greatly enhancing the service experience and customer trust.
Practical Application: Specific Manifestations of Efficiency Improvement
Scenario 1: Routine Battery Pack Maintenance and Performance Verification
For a routine in-station maintenance, the PBM-B series portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance equipment is used for rapid capacity testing. What used to take half a day can now be completed in one or two hours thanks to its efficient charge/discharge and intelligent cutoff functions, automatically generating a report and freeing up workstation space.
Scenario 2: Precise Diagnosis of Faulty Battery Packs
Faced with customer complaints about shortened driving range, technicians quickly determined whether the issue stemmed from overall pack performance degradation or a problem with only individual modules by using the equipment’s SOC cutoff and individual cell voltage cutoff tests, combined with the collected data. This avoided blindly replacing the entire battery pack, saving customers significant costs and enhancing the service station’s professional reputation.
Scenario 3: Comprehensive Safety Protection
Throughout the testing process, the Guheng Energy maintenance equipment’s built-in comprehensive protection mechanisms, including input/output over-current, over-voltage, reverse battery connection, disconnected wiring, and over-temperature protection, formed a complete safety protection system covering the equipment, battery, and operators, ensuring efficient work without any worries.
Conclusion
In today’s increasingly professional and standardized new energy aftermarket, investing in professional tools like the Guheng Energy portable battery pack charge/discharge maintenance equipment is not merely about upgrading equipment, but a strategic investment in the future efficiency, core competitiveness, and brand image of service stations. It can help you significantly shorten repair cycles, improve diagnostic accuracy, optimize customer experience, and ultimately stand out in the fierce market competition. We believe that the right tools are half the battle. Choose Guheng Energy, let’s empower the future of new energy together.
