This is a link to the previous unboxing video of the 12 volt battery booster.

Looks so much easier to Jump your Ioniq5 than a Tesla. Awesome video!

Yeah it is. Getting those little cables out of the bumper and the Tesla is a pain

A Tesla isn't all that difficult once you know where to get to it. But the Tesla will usually tell you when the 12v is getting weak and warn you.

Was this just a demo or did your battery actually die? My Kia fob also a key in it. IIRC, I can use it to lock the glove box and take it with me and just leave the fob with the parking lot attendant (ie, valet mode). I like the booster unit. I have something similar I bought a couple of years ago, now I just need to find it. I sold the car I had at the time, so I'm not sure where it ended up. But this video has served as the impetus for me to find it. Oh, my car now is a 2011 kia sorento, ICE not electric.

This was just a demo, The battery wasn't actually dead. Yeah 12 volt batteries are the Achilles heel for electric and ice haha

nice to have that quick fix 🤩 but what can we do to avoid this🤔

All 12 volt batteries end up dying, although on an ICE car, it takes 5 years… Soooo, the best thing to do is to test your 12 volt battery with a load battery tester. If you do test your battery on a 6-month cycle and take a note of the CCA load test result, you’ll see how far you have moved away from the stated CCA rating on the battery. Better yet, do this test when you get your new car. Also, you should do the same test when you get a new/replacement battery. In my case, I have a 2024 Ioniq 6. It’s brand spanking new. Its 12 volt battery has a stated 550 CCA rating. It gave a load test result of 617 CCA. Once in the future I get a CCA load test result below 475 CCA, it will be time to proactively change the battery. Then, I’ll do what the Ioniq Guy said to do: “Buy an AGM battery”.

Crazy, great info to know. BTW, did they ever fix the phantom drain to the 12V bat. problem with these cars?

@Crazypostman 4 ай бұрын

No not really, every car doesn't have it it seems to be a defect in some. Even the brand new EV 9s getting delivered right now are still having 12 volt failures

So AutoZone and advance say they don't carry an ioniq battery. What brand did you get?

@Crazypostman Ай бұрын

Any group size 47 battery should work as long as the terminals are similar

@Crazypostman Ай бұрын

I haven't actually replaced the battery yet This video was more about having a backup booster ready to help.

@Crazypostman Ай бұрын

Something like this should work. But do your own research to make sure that's the best choice. amzn.to/3yG9Lxq

Without power, low enough that the car would not unlock, why did the horn fo off?

@Crazypostman 4 ай бұрын

When you apply the 12 volt jumper box the door would have been unlocked and opened so it sets the alarm off. If you could open the hood without opening the car door first it wouldn't set the alarm off

Because the 12V battery wasn't actually dead for his demonstration.
