when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.
I'm at the third battery at 7000 miles and 6 months (2024 niro ev) and the battery is dead again this morning, like wtf.
Biggest issue was it ate batteries, never had a car go through so many batteries
Well it's 30 months old and is still 6 months under the pro-rated warranty. Took it to a dealer, they replaced it and said it would be 226 dollars! I asked if they checked the warranty and the technician stepped away and came back 20 minutes later. "kia corporate declined the warranty on your battery".
Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.
