That battery pack sure didn't last very long. That's one good reason not to buy one.

$2000 for that battery, how much money ya saving now?

oh the dreaded threaded fasteners… sandy munro would loose his marbles. What happens to the old batteries? Did you test the old pack for voltage or resistance difference? There is no battery heating/cooling in those older Kia/Hyundai EVs, that's probably also why it died.
