Buying a used S1 Pro, how do you actually check battery SoH before paying?
@nikita_verma · 1 week ago
Thinking of picking up a used S1 Pro as a second bike at home. Read this ev.care guide saying ask the seller to pull SoH from the service centre and that warranty only guarantees 70% health anyway. Problem is most sellers just show the app screen and call it done. Anyone here actually gone through a proper SoH check at a service centre before buying, or verified charging behaviour on the spot. What exactly did they check and would you trust just the app number.

Service centre diagnostic tool reads actual pack logs which is more reliable. I'd ask seller for a recent fast charge session screenshot too, charging curve tells a lot about pack health that one SoH figure won't show.
