Battery state of health (SoH)
An indicator of a battery’s condition relative to a reference and according to an assessment method.
Reviewed 05.10.2026 · Version 2 · Scope: General
How to interpret it
It may assess aspects such as available capacity or performance. Before comparing percentages, it is worth checking the reference, procedure, and date; not all reports measure exactly the same thing.
Example
A hypothetical report showing 90% needs to explain which quantity it compares and against what reference; the number alone does not determine a contractual warranty.
Why it matters to you
It helps interpret information about a used battery and request a report that makes clear what was measured.
Common points of confusion
It is not the current charge percentage. Nor does it, by itself, establish remaining life, range, or compliance with a warranty.
