How Battery Testing Works
Our specialised battery testing equipment performs controlled charging and discharging cycles while monitoring voltage, current, temperature and capacity. This allows us to accurately measure the true health and remaining capacity of your battery.
Testing normally takes around 48 hours and includes both battery and charger assessment.
Common Battery Problems We Find
- Faulty chargers
- Damaged battery fuses
- Loose electrical connections
- Reduced battery capacity
- Battery imbalance
- Cell degradation
- Controller-related charging issues
Why Test Before Buying A New Battery?
Many batteries are replaced unnecessarily and proper testing can determine whether the issue is the battery, charger, wiring, controller or another component.
Many customers assume their battery has failed when the real problem is a faulty charger, damaged fuse or electrical connection.
Battery testing can often save hundreds of dollars by identifying the true cause of the problem before replacement parts are purchased.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Bike & Tricycle Battery Testing
How much does battery testing cost?
Battery testing is currently available for just $40 and includes a comprehensive printed battery performance report. Our report helps you understand the overall health of your battery and whether replacement or further investigation is recommended.
How long does battery testing take?
Most battery tests are completed within approximately 48 hours. More complex electrical faults or batteries requiring additional investigation may take slightly longer, however we will always keep you informed throughout the process.
Can you test electric bike chargers?
Yes. We test both the battery and charger as part of the diagnostic process. In many cases charging problems are caused by a faulty charger rather than the battery itself, so testing both components provides a much more accurate diagnosis.
Can you test batteries from brands other than Trike Bike?
In most cases, yes. Our specialised testing equipment is capable of evaluating many electric bicycle and electric tricycle battery systems from a wide range of manufacturers. If you are unsure whether we can test your battery, simply contact us with the make and model before sending it to us.
Will testing tell me if I need a new battery?
Yes. Our battery report measures actual battery performance and remaining capacity, allowing us to determine whether your battery is performing normally, has deteriorated with age or should be replaced. This can often prevent unnecessary battery replacement costs.
What types of batteries can you test?
We primarily test lithium-ion battery systems used in adult electric tricycles and electric bicycles. If you have a battery from another electric mobility product, contact us with the battery specifications and we will advise whether testing is available.
Can you diagnose poor battery range?
Yes. Reduced riding range is one of the most common reasons customers request battery testing. Our testing helps determine whether reduced range is caused by battery deterioration, charging issues, rider usage, environmental conditions or another electrical fault.
Can you tell if my charger is damaging my battery?
Yes. During testing we assess charger operation to ensure it is delivering the correct charging voltage and operating correctly. A faulty charger can reduce battery life or prevent a battery from reaching full capacity.
Should I test my battery before replacing it?
Absolutely. Many batteries are replaced unnecessarily when the actual problem is a charger, wiring issue, controller fault or poor electrical connection. Professional testing can save hundreds of dollars by identifying the true cause of the problem.
Can damaged batteries be repaired?
Battery testing identifies the condition of the battery and helps determine whether repair or replacement may be possible. Not all battery faults can be repaired safely, particularly where significant cell damage or water ingress has occurred. We will explain the results and recommend the safest and most economical solution.
Can batteries be shipped to Trike Bike Australia for testing?
Yes. Customers from anywhere in Australia can contact us to arrange battery testing. Before shipping a lithium battery, please contact us for the correct packaging and transport advice, as lithium batteries must be transported safely and in accordance with applicable freight requirements.
Will battery testing improve the performance of my battery?
Battery testing itself does not repair or increase battery capacity. Instead, it provides an accurate assessment of your battery’s current condition, helping you make informed decisions about maintenance, repair or replacement.
