Battery OEM KIA or Duralast
When i changed my battery in my Kia eSoul (same car, different brand) the only thing that happened was that the aux bat SOC said 255 for some time. Then car calibrated itself to the new battery and said the right value.
Pros: car calibrated itself
Cons: aux bat SOC said 255
Vehicle:
Kia
Duralast is a decent brand, I’ve always went with the gold, no real reason just that it’s what was in the car before.
Pros: decent brand
my 2010 4x4 needs a new battery. This one lasted 4 years Duralast Gold.
Pros: lasted 4 years
I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.
Pros: most CCA

when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
I replaced mine in my 2018 GLE63s with an aftermarket one from Auto Zone (Duralast Platinum). I finally got my start/stop feature back which I had forgotten about and also forgotten how annoying it was to have it ????
Pros: start/stop feature back
Cons: start/stop feature annoying
The only issue I’ve had with this car is the battery, they usually die in about 3years, but they are AGM batteries and they usually die within that Timeframe in Phoenix,AZ Anyway because of the Heat.
Cons: dies in 3 years, short lifespan

Kia Optima

Well it's 30 months old and is still 6 months under the pro-rated warranty. Took it to a dealer, they replaced it and said it would be 226 dollars! I asked if they checked the warranty and the technician stepped away and came back 20 minutes later. "kia corporate declined the warranty on your battery".
Cons: warranty claim declined
