I have a 23 PHEV still on the original battery after 36k miles. I do top it off once a month with a battery tender though.
Owner reviews for battery
Trenutno imam Durcell, inače po iskustvu Varta ili Bosch. Bang for buck slovenska Topla iznenađujuće dobra.
Pāris reizes pirku Deta, bija ok, bet tas jau no dārgā gala.
Man bija Deta (nezinu vai viņi arī nav pārpirkti), kas nogāja 8 gadus, atstāju uz nakti ar ieslēgtu salona apgaismojumu un izlādejās tā, ka pat odometrs nedega, protams, bija gatavs... Ziemā nekādu pazīmju vēl nebija, domāju arī 10 gadus noietu.
When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.
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
I’ve replaced several Duracell batteries recently that had been recently installed within the last few month. We’ve had good luck with power sonic, yusa, and first power.
battery left me stranded
DO NOT buy a red top Optima. They haven't been good or worth the price in like 15 yrs.
After 7 sets of battery drains, I installed a new set and left it on a shelf untouched for a week. Turned on and dead. Made a warranty claim with Bosch to which their lazy troubleshooting reply:
Let me start by apologizing on behalf of BOSCH for any inconvenience this has caused you. I performed a complete inspection: I 1st charged up your lithium battery. I then calibrated & tested unit with both alkaline & lithium batteries: PASSED. I know it’s an inconvience. But: Leaving any batteries in unit when not in use: ( Unit will drain all battery types )—( Unit self discharges batteries when not in use ) --That is why Bosch put in manual tom remove batteries. PG# 21—Attached – ( they actually don’t say how long the “ extended period is “) That way it is not considerd a factory defect. Other than that: unit is operating to all Manufacurers Specification & Tolerances. Best regards,
-Well I'm never buying another Bosch product again with customer service like that. Pissed that I bought this expensive paperweight. What product in today's world drains batteries when not in use? Clearly flawed engineering they are hiding and do not value the end users. A recall is in order.
