Software update version 10 for the EL-50332 EV/HEV Battery Service and Depowering Tool was recently released and is available through the Special Tools and Software Updates link in GM GlobalConnect.
The software update (EL-50332-SWV10) increases the allowable tool voltage from 4.15 volts per cell to 4.2 volts per cell in the Bolt EV battery pack to enable module balancing on a nearly fully charged battery. The current tool was not able to initiate module balancing on a battery pack that was almost fully charged.
The software update also contains all previously introduced updates for the EV Battery Depowering Tool.
