Thinkcar UK has released a new Thinktool EV cell balancer – the EVP802 – to deliver a steady charge to an EV battery during any off-car diagnostic work.
The Thinktool EVP802 is an EV pack modular equaliser designed to provide stable high-voltage and low-voltage power supplies for off-vehicle battery testing.

Alex Gillbanks, managing director of Impact Diagnostics, the specialist supplier behind Thinkcar UK, said:
“The EV car parc is diversifying as more manufacturers offer a wider array of EVs. It is also maturing, with older cars now more likely to enter independent garages, which means those garages will need new tools. With outstanding specifications and an intuitive interface, the EVP802 will change your approach to EV diagnostics.”
The portable EV cell balancer comes with a seven-inch screen interface, and can be connected via TCP/IP or USB-device for data transfer. In terms of results, charge/discharge data is accessed through histograms and data tables. When in use, the EVP802 supports up to two modules at once, meaning technicians can work with a maximum of 12 batteries simultaneously on each channel. Once a battery is connected to the EVP802, technicians can conduct a wide range of electronic vehicle testing scenarios.
This new tool is part of the overall EV offering from the company. “Thinkcar UK is bringing the tools of tomorrow that enable EV testing and offline diagnostics,” said Gillbanks.
