S550e Hybrid Electric Battery Check?

Very interesting question! We've had a couple Honda hybrids and the newer one has no gauge or indicator of any kind. On the older one, there was a "state of charge" indicator on the dash which was clunky and misleading, and I suspect they did away with it for that reason. I would think the hybrid control system is some pretty proprietary software that only the mfg and a subset of dealer techs can get into ...

Correct, currently MB Xentry only to the OP only alternative is to find a qualified independent.

I will doubt you will find a local independent dealer. I bring this up in a service, that is what I did with my 16' and they tested it and showed me battery health which was still very good.
