vs
Battery SAMSUNG or OEM KIA
Even though the battery tested fine the problem went when I replaced the battery.
Pros: problem went away
Vehicle:
Kia Ceed
Also, most car manufacturers know that customers are generally bad at doing the "correct" thing, so they protect their batteries by design.
When you are charging to 100% you are actually closer to 95-97%, when you run your car to 0% it's actually 5-7%
All because it's easier to show you another number and build the protection into the system, than to change people's habits.
Pros: batteries protected by design
Vehicle:
Kia
My Kia EV6 does 10-80 in 18 minutes which is getting close, IMO. It\u2019s certainly enough for me
Pros: getting close, enough
Vehicle:
Kia
Of course you do. 16-19 kWh/100km to 20-23 kWh/100km. Kia EV6.
Pros: increased energy consumption
Vehicle:
Kia
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
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 321868 km
My husband\u2019s used Kia EV 6 \u201822 had a 12volt die. Bought a new one under $200 and used a YouTube video to replace.
Pros: easy to replace
Cons: 12volt died
Vehicle:
Kia
I bought a ‘24 GT with 5k miles and regret it every day. The battery had to be replaced at 9k miles and we had a loaner for a 5 weeks. Everyday issues like Carplay not working 50% of the time and the backup sensors being way too sensitive drive me insane.
Cons: battery replaced, carplay issues
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 5000 km
Looks like I'm getting a battery replacement. Very disappointed in Samsung this year.
Cons: disappointed in Samsung
I have a Kia Soul that goes through the OEM batteries every two-three years.
