New diagnostic device specifically for electric cars

Redline Detection, the global leader in diagnostic leak detection technology, today announced a new division of the company that has developed diagnostic leak detection technology exclusively for battery electric vehicles. Speaking at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Alex Parker, CMO of Redline Detection, announced that a major global OEM has made the new battery and coolant leak detector an essential tool for electric vehicle diagnostics at all dealer locations in 160 countries.

"Widespread adoption of electric vehicles depends on safety and reliability. Redline has partnered with leading EV automakers to develop technology that 100 percent ensures battery cases and battery cooling systems are sealed under precise pressure and meet all OEM and battery manufacturer warranty standards for safety," says Parker.
The Battery + Coolant Leak Detector (BCLD) is designed to test the integrity of battery cases in electric and hybrid vehicles. The compact BCLD connects to the battery case on or off the vehicle and provides audible and visual progress as well as a precise pass/fail indication – specific to that battery and vehicle type – upon completion of the test. Data logging and reports can be accessed remotely and the machine is programmable for future battery configurations.

Testing the integrity of battery cases is necessary to ensure that no water, dust or contaminants can enter that could cause a failure. Battery cases are tested after every collision, even after scraping the bottom of the battery case over a curb that could compromise the seal, as well as after servicing or servicing of the battery cover. BCLD provides OEMs and aftermarket service locations the ability to perform cap maintenance and repairs and restore the integrity of battery and battery coolant cases to original factory specifications.
