From a 24-hour diagnostic to a full capacity upgrade, every service is engineered to maximise the performance, range and lifespan of your EV or hybrid battery — at a fraction of dealer replacement costs.
Our diagnostic service is the foundation of every battery repair. Using OEM-grade diagnostic interfaces, proprietary cell testing equipment and thermal imaging cameras, we generate a comprehensive State of Health (SoH) report for your specific battery pack within 24 hours.
Unlike a basic OBD scan, our diagnostic works at the cell level — identifying which specific cells or modules are degraded, failed or imbalanced, giving you a precise repair roadmap and accurate quote rather than a generic "replace the whole pack" answer.
The most cost-effective path to restoring full battery capacity. Rather than replacing an entire pack when only specific cells or modules have degraded, we surgically replace just what's needed — using OEM-matched or upgraded cells sourced from tier-1 manufacturers.
Every replacement cell is matched to the existing pack by chemistry, capacity and internal resistance to ensure even degradation across the entire pack for years to come. Post-replacement, the pack undergoes a full 48-hour load cycle and rebalance protocol before leaving our facility.
Many EV and hybrid batteries that appear degraded are actually suffering from cell imbalance — not genuine capacity loss. Cells within the pack drift apart in charge level and internal resistance over time, causing premature BMS cutoff and apparent range loss.
Our reconditioning process uses a patented deep-cycle protocol specifically calibrated for each battery chemistry to equalise all cells, recover dormant capacity and restore accurate SoC reporting. This service alone restores 20–40% of "lost" range in most hybrid batteries and 10–25% in BEV packs without replacing a single cell.
The Battery Management System is the brain of your EV or hybrid battery. A faulty BMS can cause everything from incorrect range estimates and false warning lights to complete charge refusal and sudden power loss — even when the cells themselves are perfectly healthy.
We repair, replace and reprogram BMS hardware and firmware for all major EV and hybrid platforms sold in South Africa, restoring proper communication between the battery, vehicle and charging infrastructure.
Go further than the factory ever intended. Our upgrade programmes replace standard-capacity cells with higher energy density alternatives — or expand the number of modules in the pack — to deliver range beyond the original manufacturer specification.
Popular upgrades include: Nissan LEAF 24→40kWh, BMW i3 60→120Ah, NiMH Toyota hybrid packs converted to Li-ion, and PHEV electric range extensions. All upgrades include BMS recalibration and a full validation cycle.
South Africa's climate is one of the harshest environments for EV and hybrid batteries in the world. Ambient temperatures regularly exceed 35°C in summer, and many SA roads expose vehicles to constant high-load driving that generates extreme battery heat. Without proper thermal management, battery lifespan can be cut in half.
Our thermal management service ensures your battery's cooling system is operating at full efficiency — critical for both performance and longevity in the South African climate. We service both active liquid-cooled and passive air-cooled battery systems.
