PHEV Battery Health Check for Used Plug-in Hybrids
Managix tests plug-in hybrid (PHEV) batteries as well as full EVs. Across Greater Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, a mobile technician from NWG ADAS & Windscreens scans the battery on-site with Moba CertifyPro in under 10 minutes, and you get a same-day CARA approved State of Health certificate for $175 plus GST.
Why plug-in hybrid batteries also degrade
A plug-in hybrid has a smaller battery than a full EV, but it is still a lithium-ion battery that loses capacity with age and use. Managix's PHEV battery health check in Australia shows how much capacity is left, which decides how far the car can drive on electricity before the engine takes over.
- Electric-only range is a key reason people buy a PHEV, and it depends on battery health
- The dashboard's range estimate isn't a certified measurement of battery condition
- A certificate gives buyers and sellers independent evidence to agree on a fair price

What the PHEV certificate shows
Managix's PHEV battery health certificate gives Australian buyers and sellers the same verified information as our full EV certificate. It reads the plug-in hybrid's battery data directly from the manufacturer's battery management system and presents it in a 2-page CARA approved report, emailed the same day as the visit.
- Battery State of Health (SoH) as a percentage, read from the manufacturer's own battery management system
- Charging history
- Battery warranty status
- A secure QR code so buyers, dealers and financiers can verify the certificate
- A 2-page report produced under the CARA Approved Battery Health Check standard

PHEV battery health check FAQs
Plug-in hybrid owners ask Managix slightly different questions from full EV owners before booking a battery health check in Australia, usually about the engine, the smaller battery and whether the test is worth it. These answers explain how our mobile Moba CertifyPro test works on a PHEV.
Do plug-in hybrid batteries really need a health check?
Yes. A PHEV's battery is smaller than a full EV's, but it is still a lithium-ion battery that ages over time. Its condition affects how far the car can drive on electricity alone, which is a big part of why people buy a PHEV.
How much does a PHEV battery health check cost?
A Managix PHEV battery health check costs $175 plus GST and includes a mobile technician visit, the battery scan and a CARA approved State of Health certificate.
Does the petrol or diesel engine affect the test?
No. The Moba CertifyPro scan reads the State of Health of the high-voltage battery from the vehicle's battery management system. The engine isn't part of the test.
Does the battery need to be charged before the test?
No. The vehicle doesn't need a minimum charge level before the Moba CertifyPro scan.
How long does a PHEV battery health check take?
The on-site scan takes under 10 minutes, and the CARA approved certificate is emailed the same day.
