I'm at over 90k miles in a 2022 Kia EV6 and haven't had an ICCU issue. All I've done outside normal wear and tear like tires is upgraded to an AGM 12V battery to solve crappy OEM battery problems
Pros: upgraded to AGM battery
Cons: crappy OEM battery
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 90000 km
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
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
Another is that the OEM Kia battery just sucks…they fail. The fix is to get a new battery that doesn’t suck. Kia will replace the dead one within warranty but you’ll get another dodgy OEM battery. Most people seem to trend towards buying a good AGM aftermarket battery for this.
Pros: good AGM aftermarket battery
Cons: dodgy OEM battery
Vehicle:
Kia
I had the same problem. My car was brand new too but was sitting for a bit before it was sold to me. I brought it in to get charged a few times but the message was still coming up and I was definitely driving it enough. Eventually they just changed the battery under warranty.
Cons: problem persisted, battery replaced under warranty
Vehicle:
Mercedes
The batteries Mercedes uses seem to be really poor quality. I have a daily class and it seems they are changing the battery every 1.5 years so far on average…
Cons: poor quality, frequent replacement needed
I've dealt with this issue on both of my newer AMG vehicles. My older ones never had this problem. From my understanding, this is caused by the new mbux system being a bit of a power hog. I eventually had to invest in a trickle charger, and I have to charge both of my AMGs 3-4 times per year. It gets worse as your battery gets toward the end of its lifespan.
Cons: power hog, frequent charging needed, issue worsens
