Hi
When I went to test drive the above car it had to be jump started and after purchasing it I was told the battery had been replaced. Over the last few weeks it has been reporting ‘aux battery saver’ most mornings indicating the car has topped up the 12v from the main traction battery.
The car has been at the garage today for software upgrade and I have been told it has failed the battery test at 75% and needs a new 12v battery.
Clearly either the garage did not change the battery before i had the car delivered or it fitted a defective battery.
I am now being told no 12v batteries are available in the supply change and I will get an update on Thursday on availability. This seems crazy to me, is this 12v battery something particularly special or does a specific Hyundai branded battery need to be fitted?
The car was a 2019 Aug reg that has been sat since then before i purchased it in Sept 2020 so never been used and i can understand the original battery being dead but 2? Anybody else had issues either with these failing or availability?
