Battery OEM Hyundai or Duralast
Reviews
You need this one, and it takes about 10 minutes to install. Just hop into the front trunk, unbolt the bar from the firewall that braces the battery -- iirc 13mm. Remove the tire inflator and the box (pulls right out), remove the other bolt, unscrew the two terminals (10mm probably), swap batteries. Done.
Pros: easy to install, 10 minutes

Duralast AGM. No leaking, minimal to no corrosion, god life, decent power, and most importantly it was readily available.
Pros: no leaking, decent power
Unser Ioniq5 hat nach 4 Jahren und knapp 60.000€ immer noch einen SoH von 100%. Haben zwecks Weiterverkauf extra auslesen und dokumentieren lassen. Zudem gibt Hyundai 5 Jahre allgemeine Garantie und 8 Jahre Garantie auf den Akku. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf und mögen den IONiQ immer noch sehr.
Pros: 100% Batteriezustand, sehr zufrieden

Duralast is almost always johnson controls, made in mexico.
Depends on the car, both highway speeds:
- Our good EV, Ioniq 6: went from 18kWh/100km to about 26kWh/100km.
- Our bad car, EQB: Went from about 26-28kWh/100km to about 29-30kWh.
Pros: increased energy consumption
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Last December, the OEM battery died and I replaced it with a new Duralast battery from AutoZone. Fast forward to today, the car wouldn\u2019t start at all. Had to jump it just to get it running and drove straight to AutoZone to get it tested.\n\nBattery tested good. Starter tested good.\nBut the alternator failed, specifically the charging current test.
Cons: alternator failed charging test

Mileage: 31000 km
