The Wiener Neudorf company Aviloo developed a test procedure to determine the performance of batteries: Marcus Berger is its CEO.
It doesn’t help to look at the used car and test drive it. It is not possible to find out how the battery of an electric car – following all its most expensive individual component – is actually doing. Wolfgang Berger and Nikolaus Mayerhofer found this unsatisfactory when they wanted to buy a used electric car. That was in 2017. So they developed a test procedure – initially literally in a garage – to find out the condition of the battery. In 2021, Aviloo brought the first devices for the state-of-health test to the Austrian market. In the meantime, the devices of the 30-strong team of primarily electronics, mechatronics and electrical engineers, who develop the required software and hardware at their headquarters in Wiener Neudorf, are also in use in Germany. The palm-sized test device, which weighs around 150 grams and can be borrowed from the ÖAMTC, for example, collects data on the capacity and performance of the battery – regardless of whether it is installed in a vehicle, cargo ship, aircraft or stationary storage in industry or in the home . And thus provides information regarding the value of the battery.
