How to Read Battery Capacity with Autel AP200?

Image
  Background One of the most important, expensive, and worrisome components of any electric vehicle is the high-voltage battery that propels the vehicle. These batteries, although designed for long life, will deteriorate over time and affect vehicle range performance. All manufacturers are required to provide a warranty for the HV batteries. For the Clarity, this warranty is 8 years, 100K miles in most states. It increases to 10 years, 150K miles if your vehice is registered and normally operated in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. In the case of the Clarity, the specifics of the HV battery warranty are based on a capacity measurement of the battery expressed in ampere-hours (Ah). This warranty is spelled out in the pre-delivery checklist (17-093) that is supposed to be provided to all new owners. The nominal battery capacity for a new vehicle is 55 Ah, and Honda defines

Autel AP200 Review on Benz 38-PIN W163 W210

Image
  Autel AP200M BT dongle   is the most affordable and portable scanner. Good coverage, very good shareable reports in PDF format. Included in price EOBD and one car line. MaxiAp200 app software installation simple and easy. Very large download. Uses 3.65 GB of internal storage. HT200 is the same as AP200. But it will not support 38 pin adapter to scan Mercedes-Benz W210s. It will only do an EOBD to limited access ECU only. Users have tried AP200M on W163, W164, W166, X166 and W210. Works like a champ. AP200M (red dongle) can support all these, so as AP200 (the white dongle). Autel AP200  is better because it has lifetime support for a single make (no yearly fees at all for the first brand). Additional brands will cost $21.99 per year. AP200M only one year subscription for a single brand, 19.99$ later.   The advantage is with the AP200 you get lifetime full support for the first vehicle, rather than one year with AP200M. The 38-pin adapter is available on obdii365.com https://www.obdii3
