Battery OEM Chevrolet or OEM KIA

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

At 10 years and 330,000 kms my Volt battery didn't even show degradation.

Mine is ten years old. It's a Chevy volt so it's a small battery and has over 3000 cycles and done 130000 km. It's at 87% original capacity.

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.

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.

Have a Chevy Volt. The battery is only good for 22-40 miles depending on outside temp. It gets plugged in at night and costs $14-18 a month. For the past 3 years we have used less then 25 gallons of gas.

Not many cons. The car is much better on electricity than when the gas motor has to kick in. Much quieter and has a bit more throttle response so I don't like it when the battery runs out.

Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.

What is the sound of one hand clapping? Does a bear sh1t in the woods? If the bear does, is the turd a uniform size and power that will work with attributes of all the other different sized bears out there?

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".
