Я поменял батарею на сонате. Старый bms блок был с кодом 37513E7000 неисправен, а новый блок bms с кодом 375134r000. Машина очень редко запускается с новым блоком. Он стоял на оптиме раньше. Как мне этот блок подружить с сонатой ?

Thank you for your awesome video. My car is Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 2014. Is it still the same procedure to remove and disassemble hybrid battery?

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hi there and thanks for your comment. Yes, procedure is the same with only some minor differences.

Brilliant video

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Thanks

Very nice. Would you say it is a job that any DIYers can do or it must be done by a pro. And also a curious question. Is the battery always a shock hazard or at some point it is without power. Can you point where in the video the power is totally off

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hi there. Every job in this cars must be done by a qualified person as they will be dealing with high voltage. There are some steps to de-power the high voltage, refer to the link below, but still after de-powering specific procedure is involved. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIfcqJd3aJJnl9E

حدث عطب في بطارية الهايبرد لسيارتي كيا سبورتاج هايبرد 2023 وارد امريكي بسبب دخول الماء اليها.. اين تباع البطارية هايبرد وكم سعرها ؟؟ واين تتوفر ؟؟ Alaa from in IRAQ

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hi there, sorry for what happened to your car. I'm not sure about that region, the best idea is to give a call to a dealership over there or look for a used one in neighbor countries.

Мой друг, ebay и Грузия тебе в помощь. Скорее всего придётся ехать в Грузию и там искать

Question, do you see an audio amplifier in the rear trunk?

[@jaspalsingh8850]

Its close to small beterry behind the body

[@jaspalsingh8850]

3 screw

[@RealWjay]

@@jaspalsingh8850 mine is a hybrid and doesn’t have an amp. I fixed my audio problem with replacing the radio itself.

the most important part how to remove the cells is missing

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hopefully in another video very soon

[@user-mc5fm1rr3t]

This is for older Hyundai sonata not 2016 or newer

[@baezn88]

How much more or less for the replacement?

[@joshuaosborn]

According to Google, $2k-$8k for the battery pack.

[@baezn88]

@joshuaosborn I called up the dealer and they are on back order and who knows how long

[@brassmule]

@@baezn88 There's a few places that do reman units with new batteries. Probably a better deal vs going to the stealership for OE and paying 2x as much or more for a "new" one.

@@brassmule my girl got tired of the car and traded it in for a Toyota. I guess it was a win, win situation
