Consumer Description

Integrated 12V battery dies with no warning and requires manual keyed process to get in to the vehicle. Once inside, the battery reset button needs to be pressed to have the solar battery start the vehicles electric system. After a few minutes the engine takes over to start charging the battery. I have had the battery die 3 times on the 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid in one week. Other postings online indicate others owners are having issues with the battery also with one owner loosing power while operating the vehicle on the freeway. After safely coasting the vehicle to the shoulder, the reset battery button restarted the electrical system for the car. Possibly an issue with the 12V battery implementation with the solar battery?
