GENERELLE LICENSBETINGELSER - AVILOO BATTERISOFTWARE - V 7_23
Concerning the use of the AVILOO BATTERY SOFTWARE from AVILOO GmbH,
Brown-Boveri- Straße 16, 2351 Wiener Neudorf, Austria,
corporate registry number FN 502117 h (“AVILOO”)
- SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
- AVILOO specializes in testing lithium batteries in electric vehicles and has developed independent test procedures for this purpose. The AVILOO PREMIUM battery test provides information about the State of Health of the battery in an electric vehicle. For this it is necessary that the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle is connected to the AVILOO BOX and the battery is drained from 100 % down to 10 % over a maximum of seven days by driving. During this drive, (i) the vehicle data read from the vehicle electronics and (ii) GPS position data (“TEST DATA”) from the AVILOO BOX are sent to the AVILOO server, evaluated, and an AVILOO Battery Certificate about the condition (State of Health) of the battery is issued (this test method hereinafter referred to as the “AVILOO PREMIUM TEST”). The AVILOO FLASH test provides information about the condition of the battery in an electric vehicle. For this it is necessary that the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle is connected to the AVILOO BOX. During this connection the vehicle data read from the vehicle electronics (“TEST DATA”) from the AVILOO BOX are sent to the AVILOO server, evaluated, and an AVILOO Battery Report about the condition of the battery is issued (this test method hereinafter referred to as the “AVILOO FLASH TEST”). The SOH SCAN provides information about the state of health as calculated by the manufacturer. AVILOO only reads out the manufacturer SOH and transmits this by way of a SOH SCAN report or via an API. AVILOO assumes no liability for the correctness of the manufacturer SoH read out for this product. (this method hereinafter the "AVILOO-SOH SCAN"). AVILOO PREMIUM TEST, AVILOO FLASH TEST and AVILOO SOH SCAN are hereinafter referred to as the “AVILOO BATTERY TESTS”.
- AVILOO has developed analysis and test software (“AVILOO BATTERY SOFTWARE”) to evaluate the TEST DATA and to create the AVILOO Battery Certificate, which is obtained as part of an AVILOO PREMIUM TEST or the AVILOO Battery Report, which is obtained as part of an AVILOO FLASH TEST.
- The CUSTOMER wishes to apply the AVILOO BATTERY TESTS to his own vehicles (“OWN VEHICLES”). The evaluation of the TEST DATA via the AVILOO BATTERY SOFTWARE remains the responsibility of AVILOO. Based on the TEST DATA determined by AVILOO, AVILOO creates an AVILOO Battery Certificate or an AVILOO Battery Report or transmits the selected manufacturer SoH via API.
