Here’s what actually happens during a Hybrid Battery Health Test at Smarter Choice Auto in Melbourne – step by step.

When you book a Hybrid Battery Health Test with us, we don’t just plug in a cheap scanner and guess.
1️⃣ Understand why you have brought the car in – We start by bringing your hybrid into the workshop and talking through whether you have experienced any warning codes or changes in efficiency or performance..
2️⃣ Scan & live data – We connect a professional scan tool, pull hybrid system fault codes and watch live data: battery module voltages, state of charge, temperature and cooling fan behaviour while the car runs.
3️⃣ Load test – We undertake a controlled load test to see how the battery discharges under load, and whether the battery voltages are internally balanced.
4️⃣ Traffic light report – We turn all that into a simple Free Hybrid Battery Health Report – green, amber or red – with clear options, so you know if you’re fine, need to plan ahead, or should replace the battery soon.

If your hybrid feels off – warning lights, worse fuel economy, sluggish performance – a proper Free Hybrid Battery Health Test will tell you exactly what’s going on.

Not sure what your Hybrid Battery Health Report means? Here’s the difference between green, amber and red – in plain English.

When we run a Hybrid Battery Health Test at Smarter Choice Auto in Melbourne, we give you a clear traffic light style report so you know exactly where your hybrid battery stands.

🔵 Green = healthy, balanced modules that stay cool. There’s normal ageing, but no urgent action needed – keep driving and servicing as usual.
🟡 Amber = early signs of imbalance, ageing or higher internal resistance. The battery still works, but it’s time to talk about monitoring, reconditioning or planning for replacement before it becomes a breakdown.
🔴 Red = danger zone – serious imbalance, overheating or fault codes pointing to failure. That’s when we recommend hybrid battery replacement as soon as possible to avoid limp mode or a roadside surprise.

If your report is amber or red – or you don’t have a report yet – a proper Hybrid Battery Health Test will tell you exactly what’s going on and give you options.
