The 12v Battery on my 2022 Kona EV is dead and the dealership is telling me they are on backorder with NO ETA. I'm currently jumping it with a little portable charger, every time I need to drive.Concerned that if I use a battery from napa etc, it may cause issues down the line. Thoughts anyone?

Teslas stopped including a portable EVSC / AC electric connector a while ago and some other EV makers followed suit. The Tesla Mobile Connector works well for level 1 & 2 charging, but it’ll set you back $250 + tax. That said, I was able to negotiate for one to be included with my Tesla near the end of 2023, as they have the ability to credit your $250 for customer service issues. However, it took over a month of following up with them & I had to drive over an hour to them to get it. When I arrived, nobody knew what I was talking about and it took them 30 minutes to figure out how to get me one. When I opened it at home, it realized not only was it used, but it was also missing the level 2 adapter! Knowing then how politely persistent I would be until I received it, they shipped the level 2 adapter to me. This was all on top of them keeping my $250 deposit for an order they botched a couple of months earlier by not honoring an extremely cheap lease they advertised & I qualified for. Yeah, I spent quadruple $250 of my time resolving this, but at that point it was the principle of the matter not letting them rip me off twice. All this said, I STILL somehow love my 2023 Tesla MYLR more than any of the many vehicles I’ve ever driven. That says a lot about just cool of a vehicle it is overall.

Makes no sense. If you already have a really big battery why not power everything from it? All you need is a fuse box correct? Like a house. You get a big voltage into the circuit breaker box, then that spilts it up into smaller voltages. Why do the same?

Great video and very relevant topic! I have a Kona EV (2019 model). The 12V battery died (shortly after the time the boot wasn't properly closed and the inside light drained the battery). Managed to jump start at first. But after a few times, even this wasn't possible. Luckily, it was during the first 2 years of the car and the 12V battery was still under warranty. So was changed free of charge.

That battery setup looks very similar to my Kia Niro EV 2019, so this was a great demo I can use when I will be needing to replace my own battery soon.
@boredKiwi3 ай бұрын
I'll note that it's important to disconnect 12V power anyway just so that the car can re-assess the 12V battery characteristics, which from my measurements will take a few days. Owners might look for the correct DIN44 metric-size battery, if available. I installed a DIN44-AGM "stop-start" type which has been more resilient than the OEM Rocket. There's also a DIN44-AGM "hybrid auxiliary" type which is less easy to find but even more optimal, such as the Yuasa LN1-MF.

This does not apply to a Tesla car made from 2022 onward. The 12 volt lead acid battery was replaced by a 16 volt lithium battery that should last the life of the car. It uses the same technology as the main propulsion battery and is bolted in place.
@yeahbuddy921939113 ай бұрын
I have a Model Y with the older 12v battery. I read somewhere the new 16V lithium batteries in Teslas should last 10 years, another source said 20. So they should be very long lasting.
@MCPicoli3 ай бұрын
AGM is still lead acid, just more resistant to sulfation and stratification. 12v is chosen instead of 24v (used in large trucks) or more is to benefit from the vast availability of 12v components and to reduce problems related to arcing in contacts designed for DC currents. Manufacturers would love to use 48v because it would reduce their costs in wiring since it would require one quarter of the copper in the wires, but don't do so because of these complications.
@ManfredvonHolstein3 ай бұрын
I recommend installing a bluetooth monitor on your 12V battery and follow the charging behaviour of your car. I haven’t checked for a Kona but quite likely you will see the same as for an Ioniq 5. The car remains quite active for a few hours after any driving or charging and this drains the 12V battery. The car then recharges the 12V battery. More activity (including BlueLink access) will drain the battery and lead to more recharging. The frequency of recharging depends on the level of activity and the temperature (which influences the capacity of the 12V battery). If you leave the car alone for a week, BlueLink shuts down and battery recharging significantly drops in frequency. All this recharging costs power which is annoying but the biggest problem occurs when recharging does not occur because the main battery is below a certain percentage of charge that the manufacturer has determined. No recharging means the 12V battery suffers and takes harm. Repeatedly doing this will lead it to fail sooner rather than later.
@cbcdesign0013 ай бұрын
The ONLY reason a 12V battery is needed in an EV is to power up the contactors that provide isolation between the HV battery and the rest of the cars electrical systems. This system is required for safety. ALL the 12V gear COULD be run from a DC-DC converter, including lights, infotainment etc etc, in theory.
