Reviews of OEM KIA battery

I have a Kia Soul that goes through the OEM batteries every two-three years.

Der SoH von Papas eNiro 64kwh (2020) ist laut OBD Dongle nach 100.000km noch bei ca 96%. Bisher keine merklichen Reichweitenverluste. Kommt soweit wie am ersten Tag.

Eversince i did not have problem on my battery Bought my SUB in WA But we moved here in AZ last 11/2023 Just today my battery ended☹️so after 7yrs need a new battery. Its too hot here AZ like right now 7:15 pm still 110’super hot

The only issue I’ve had with this car is the battery, they usually die in about 3years, but they are AGM batteries and they usually die within that Timeframe in Phoenix,AZ Anyway because of the Heat.

My husband\u2019s used Kia EV 6 \u201822 had a 12volt die. Bought a new one under $200 and used a YouTube video to replace.

I'm at over 90k miles in a 2022 Kia EV6 and haven't had an ICCU issue. All I've done outside normal wear and tear like tires is upgraded to an AGM 12V battery to solve crappy OEM battery problems

the cars are decent, the customer service at the dealers, hit or miss.

the Vancouver (Coquitlam) dealership i bought my Kia from knew jack squat about my car - I basically just needed them to sell me a car, that I knew more about at the time of sale than they did.

went to a different one, and got a much better experience, they were willing to sit down and talk to you about what the problems were, what options were, etc. So in short, the early EVs (like the one I drive) were kinda iffy depending on your experience, could be great could be terrible, but the classic ioniq is one I would hands down trade in for. The extra cobalt inside the cells means the degradation happens less, it doesn't overheat as quickly, charges reasonably fast, and more efficient than tesla :p

When i changed my battery in my Kia eSoul (same car, different brand) the only thing that happened was that the aux bat SOC said 255 for some time. Then car calibrated itself to the new battery and said the right value.

Mine died at about 44k. Good news is Kia is fully covering the replacement and the mileage warranty restarts with the new battery

Another is that the OEM Kia battery just sucks…they fail. The fix is to get a new battery that doesn’t suck. Kia will replace the dead one within warranty but you’ll get another dodgy OEM battery. Most people seem to trend towards buying a good AGM aftermarket battery for this.
