Battery SAMSUNG or OEM KIA

My 2019 e Niro has done 67k miles and range has not dropped significantly. Over 300 miles suburban in summer and around 230 motorway miles with heating in the winter.

I personally use Samsung 50S and RS50. The RS50 or 50XG are the optimal choice in my opinion.

I did the same replacements two weeks ago, it took about a week for the battery to recalibrate, definitely am seeing the improvements now.

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

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.

I do exactly the same tasks and mine don't drain that horribly. For me the battery drains quickly while watching movies and gaming only.

I just stream movies and the battery life is really pathethic. After 1 hour of prime video, its already down 15-20%. Got it a week ago brand new. I enabled battery saver on day 1 as well.

Yes, I have had this tablet for less than a year with moderate to medium use and I am already looking for a replacement. I am looking to do it myself and I am not that skilled but I will give it a go, but it isn't great that the battery is already needing a charge once a day even with "battery saver mode" applied.

I had 3 such tablets in a row. 3 times the worst battery. I'm very disappointed.

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