Just discovered this awesome way to check your 500e battery for abuse with AlfaOBD's free demo app and a cheap Konnwei dongle! No fancy tools needed. You can see if the battery ever dipped too low and potentially damaged the cells.

Here's the trick: turn on the car, plug in the dongle, and connect with code 1234. Then, instead of hunting through data, use the free "Log Viewer" app to find the "Top 5 lowest cells." Anyone else try this? So cool!
 
Hey, thanks a ton for this! Looks like I’ll be grabbing a dongle and see if it does the trick. Really appreciate it!
 
Great find. I guess you can call it a game-changer. How did you find out about the method?
And have you noticed any significant differences in your battery's lowest cells?

Interesting :D
I just checked, my lowest cell was 3140 mV!
