Got the car up and running again. Confirmed it received 5+ hours of charging during the HV battery charging cycle. Logging shows it faded from around 12.8V to 12.1V over a few hours, then sunk to around 5V.

I was not planning on dealing with this today but here we are.

Having the #OVMS module back in my car and seeing the data, I think #Kia may have leaned a little too aggressive with the parked 12V maintenance routines in the latest VCU update for the #NiroEV.

Took a drive and confirmed that the charging system does keep the recombination voltage during the drive.

So that basically confirms my feeling that the previous behavior was a flaw.

I might still need a new battery though because it might have some damage. It passed Kia’s test, but it definitely doesn’t have anywhere close to the capacity it should. As of now, battery maintenance looks more aggressive so it should be fine until then.

With #OVMS back in place, I'm observing an undocumented change with the VCU update: The car might finally be sending an appropriate charge to the accessory battery in drive mode. Previously, it was only sending around 13.2v, and only supplying the 14.8v needed for recombination during charging sessions.

So they may not have only updated the brake light behavior.

I need to drive a bit to confirm though.

With my 12v battery becoming a problem in my Niro EV, I’ve removed the OVMS module. No more logging of what’s been going on, but should ensure Kia can’t point to that as the source of the fault when I go in for maintenance.

Given the highly limited capability and lack of development, I’m not sure I’ll put it back in, to be honest.
