Moba vs Altelium: Battery Test vs Battery Warranty

Moba vs Altelium

A comparison of two products that solve different problems.

Moba is a battery diagnostic platform — Moba Certify Pro is the first CARA Approved battery diagnostics solution on the market, on the basis that its certificate reproduces the manufacturer's BMS-reported SoH¹. Moba is best known in the UK for its Arnold Clark deployment (200+ branches)².

Altelium is a battery insurance MGA — a Lloyd's Lab Cohort 9 alumnus³, distributing extended battery warranties through the GardX EVerity programme launched 9 November 2024⁴, underwritten by 'A'-rated insurers through the Lloyd's of London market⁵.

A test answers "what is the condition of this battery now?" A warranty answers "what happens if this battery fails later?"

Different problems, different products

Moba and Altelium are not directly comparable products. Moba sells a diagnostic test that produces a CARA Approved certificate of the manufacturer's BMS-reported SoH at a point in time. Altelium sells a warranty product that provides financial cover if the battery fails or degrades faster than expected after sale.

A dealer could credibly use both: a Moba certificate to evidence current condition, and an Altelium warranty to bundle protection against future failure into the EV proposition.

What neither system provides

Neither Moba nor Altelium independently calculates SoH from raw cell-level data. Moba's certificate reproduces the manufacturer's BMS-reported figure¹; Altelium's assessment is in service of warranty eligibility, not stand-alone diagnostic certification. Neither holds TÜV certification of a testing methodology.

For dealers who want an independently calculated SoH with a cell-level severity heatmap, backed by TÜV certification of the testing methodology, with the AVILOO Flash Test also listed on CARA Europe's approved providers list, those features are available from AVILOO — the system Battery Health Check uses⁶.
