Battery AC DELCO or OEM Hyundai

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)

I'm gonna 2nd the AC Delco recommendation. I have had nothing but issues with Duracell's leaking. I have never had an issue with AC Delco. Its the only battery I buy. The best.

my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has 71k+ miles and coming up on 3 years of ownership. I plug in when, where, how I want. ONE thousand charging sessions. It has ZERO range loss.....300 miles per charge still. I have no battery degradatiion. State of Health = 100%.

I put in ACDelco and surprisingly it lasted till last week (Aug 2024).

The AcDelco I installed in 2021 December died this morning so I'd say it's good. It lasted almost 3 years and I only park outside + have a whole sound system + aftermarket horns.

I'd recommend AC Delco - had 2 batteries from Repco (made by century) for my VZ Commodore Wagon and returned them both for dropped cells within a month of fitting - had no issues with the AC Delco at all, even leaving the car sitting for over two weeks it still started first turn of the key

My 2007 Tahoe still had the original AC Delco battery in it when I traded it off in 2019. Still turned the engine over like new.

I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.

I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.

My I6 battery died after 4mo and 2200km (1370mi). Car is sitting at the dealership awaiting warranty decision.
