Put a number on the battery before you lend against it.
Three working tools: model how a pack degrades under Ethiopian conditions, see what the 15-minute Rapid Check trades away against a full Reference Test, and check whether a vehicle is covered.
Models are indicative. A RISIQ certificate replaces an estimate with a measurement.
What is the pack worth after five Addis years?
Move the sliders. State of health follows a square-root calendar-fade law with an Arrhenius temperature term, plus linear cycle fade — the same method behind the certificate. The collateral figures show what a battery-blind valuation misses.
Fifteen minutes, or four hours?
Both end in the same signed certificate. What differs is how much of the charge window RISIQ actually watched — and therefore how tight the confidence band can honestly be.
Is the car you financed testable?
Socket-side measurement needs no manufacturer permission, so coverage is broad by construction. Search the models already certified or supported — and book a briefing on any of them.
A model is a guess. A certificate is a record.
The pilot goes live in Addis Ababa in late October 2026, across ten BYD vehicles. Founding places are open to banks, micro-finance institutions and insurers.
