I fully trust Yuasa. They're just excellent quality.
Left one uncharged for a whole winter fired right up.
I am on my second one in two years, their battery management is brilliant. I'm the summer I get well over 300 miles in my my Kona
I’ve had a Hyundai Kona EV for 6 years now. I live in Kelowna BC where we get cold winters (-20C) and warm summers (+40C).
My Kona gets about 375-425 km range in dead of winter. It gets 475-525km range in summer. These values are the same now as they were 6 years ago when I bought it
It has a 64KwH battery. I have a level 2 charger in my garage (I put a 30amp dryer plug in the wall) my charger is programmed to charge over night 12am - 6am. That’s when I pay the least for power. Between $.09 - $.15 KwH
I drive around 100km each day or maybe 12-15KwH. Cost me between $1.08 - $2.25 each day to charge it. Max per month is around $70.00
If it was gas it would cost me about $250 -$300/month. I figure I’ve saved, over the last 6 years a minimum of $13,000.00 on fuel costs.
Don’t forget no oil changes, no break jobs (still
Original brakes in mint condition, regenerative brake system)
My 12v battery died last winter and I decided to replace it with a Yuasa Silver battery after hearing people having problems with their 12v battery. It has a 5 year guarantee which gives a bit of peace of mind.
Yuasa are always good, but I've been a big fan of "Big Crank" / [Batterymart.com](http://Batterymart.com) batteries on most of my bikes.
Yuasa is absolutely the way to go
For the new Niro EV get a 027 battery from a third party. I got a Yuasa 027 65Ah for £90 from Halfords UK.
I'm using a Yuasa with a 4 year warranty. The optima yellow is good but not worth 3 and half times the price for twice the life span of a normal battery unless you plan on deep discharging it a few times. I just think they're a little over priced for what you get.
I remember buying a brand new Hyundai in 2016 and the car only turned on once. Then I called them and they said they installed a bad battery and changed it lol. It went on to only last 5 years.
My I6 battery died after 4mo and 2200km (1370mi). Car is sitting at the dealership awaiting warranty decision.
