Wholesale BMW i3 Battery Capacity Analyzer – The $1,895 Bench Unit That Exposes “Fake 62kWh” Packs and Cuts Module Grading Time by 76% (Now Available in Bulk with Full Discharge/Charge Cycling, Real-Time SoH Mapping & CATL-Grade Cell Validation)
“A distributor in Hamburg bought 20 ‘62kWh’ BMW i3 battery packs from an online supplier.
All claimed ‘90%+ capacity.’
After installation, customers reported ranges under 220km—far below the expected 280–300km.
The shop ran a full discharge test using a generic load bank: results varied wildly due to poor BMS communication.
Then they tested one pack with a CNS BMW i3 Battery Capacity Analyzer—and discovered it delivered only 41.3kWh, not 62kWh.
The seller had repackaged degraded 45kWh modules into 62kWh housings.
With the CNS analyzer, they caught the fraud before installing the remaining 19.”
If you buy, sell, or rebuild BMW i3 battery packs, you know that advertised capacity is often fiction.
Without precise measurement, you risk:
- Selling packs that underperform—damaging your reputation
- Paying premium prices for downgraded or mismatched modules
- Installing packs that trigger BMS derating due to hidden imbalance
Voltage checks, SoC estimates, and OBD2 scanners cannot measure true usable energy. Only a controlled, BMS-integrated capacity test reveals reality.
CNS BATTERY now offers Wholesale BMW i3 Battery Capacity Analyzer—a professional-grade cycling system that performs full CC-CV discharge/charge cycles while communicating with the i3’s BMS, delivering certified net capacity, State of Health (SoH), and cell-group performance maps in under 5 hours.
Our BMW i3 Battery Capacity Analyzer features:
- 🔋 True net capacity measurement: Integrates real-time current data from the BMS for lab-grade accuracy (±1.5%)
- 📡 Native CAN bus integration: Reads all cell voltages, temperatures, and balancing status during test
- ⚡ Programmable charge/discharge profiles: Supports 0.2C, 0.5C, and custom rates per BMW GS 95082
- 🌡️ Thermal monitoring: Flags abnormal heating that indicates internal defects
- 📊 Automated report generation: PDF with kWh delivered, SoH %, weakest module, and pass/fail verdict
Validated for all BMW i3 liquid-cooled packs (45kWh, 50kWh, 62kWh) using standard NMC prismatic cells.
Why Guessing Capacity Costs You More Than the Tool Itself
Many shops rely on:
- “Range after full charge” → skewed by driving style, temperature, and tire pressure
- BMS-reported SoH → often optimistic or locked behind proprietary algorithms
- Cell voltage averages → blind to group-level degradation
But true capacity is the only metric that matters for customer satisfaction and warranty integrity.
A pack claiming “62kWh” but delivering 52kWh will:
- Trigger early low-range warnings
- Suffer accelerated degradation from over-stressing remaining healthy cells
- Generate warranty claims you can’t refute without data
The CNS Capacity Analyzer gives you irrefutable proof—for both quality control and customer transparency.
“We used to take sellers at their word. Now, every pack we receive goes through the CNS analyzer. Last quarter, we rejected 7 out of 22 ‘62kWh’ units—saving over €34,000 in potential losses and returns.”

Frequently Asked Questions: Wholesale BMW i3 Battery Capacity Analyzer
Q: How long does a full test take?
A: 4–6 hours for a complete 100%→0%→100% cycle at 0.2C (standard for SoH validation).
Q: Does it require external cooling?
A: Built-in thermal monitoring alerts you if temps exceed safe limits—but for extended cycling, ambient temps <30°C are recommended.
Q: Can it test individual modules?
A: No—it’s designed for complete pack validation, as capacity is a system-level property affected by BMS logic and inter-module balance.
Q: Is calibration needed?
A: Annual self-calibration recommended; CNS provides remote support and firmware updates for bulk clients.
Q: What’s the minimum capacity it can detect?
A: Accurately measures down to 20kWh, making it suitable for identifying severely degraded or misrepresented packs.
