Discovered a way to see the 12V battery charge status!

[noremacnova]

Thanks to user George S on another forum, there seems to be a way to see the 12V battery state of charge status (percentage) via the Genesis Connected Services webpage! Someone else please help me verify this!

Instructions:

1. Login to the Genesis Owners Homepage | MyGenesis webpage (I'm in the USA)
2. Go to the upper right and select the triple dash "-" menu pulldown
3. Select Connected Services
4. Select the Vehicle Status tab on the far right
5. Observe the battery icon in the upper right. This indication is NOT the DC traction battery SOC!

Interesting!
What is the other forum?

See PM.

Interesting that the 12v battery status is expressed as a percentage...just did the thing...worked just as described...I know the traction battery is under 80%...status is showing me 89%..so, what does 89% of a 12v battery mean? The car is underway on the highway right now, 30 minutes into the drive. Shouldn't it be 100%, or close?
EDIT: 20 minutes later...still 89% at end of 29 mile drive.

I don't know what the ICCU charging logic is, but unlike a vehicle with an alternator, it could charge or not charge anytime it wants.

Ok...so what is the low-voltage set-point that gets the 12v charging circuit to energize? And it is April 2, 2025...isn't it?

I just checked my battery, car hasn't been driven for a couple of days, vehicle status reported 81% charge status, though without knowing what voltage is 100% charged, impossible to say what voltage 81% represents. Maybe I'll get out my meter and try to measure the actual voltage.

.status is showing me 89%..so, what does 89% of a 12v battery mean?

This is the key question.... The answer is "not much."

This was covered in a prior thread - 12V battery percentages are essentially meaningless, because there is no consistent determination of what 0% or 100% is. A reading of the actual voltage would be MUCH more useful.

...A reading of the actual voltage would be MUCH more useful.

Well, here is one data point for the curve we would all want. At a reading of "82%" on the webpage, I measured 12.45V directly at the battery.

**update** The car "charged" overnight, and the battery indication went up to 93%. I just measured the battery voltage and got 12.28V. So now I'm totally confused. Grrr

Did mine and it shows 84%. Maybe this really is meaningless.

The interface is much different in Canada. 12V battery status doesn't seem to be visible, but it does tell me how far I can get with the gasoline remaining in the tank.

I gave up and just got a cheap bluetooth battery monitor!

I just checked and the website and my meter match!

The dealer that sold me my GV60 installed a LoJack device (I couldn't opt out), and it interfaces with a smartphone app. The Lojack app shows the cars current location, and also the current battery voltage. The app also also sent a low voltage alert a few days ago while my car was at the dealership getting its ICCU and 12V battery replaced.

Wait, a dealer forced you to purchase the vehicle with a LoJack device installed? A vehicle that already has Connected Services with Stolen Vehicle Recovery? Was this a Genesis dealer?

Yes, it was purchased at Roseville Hyundai, which used to sell Genesis vehicles, but they are no longer selling them. I was told the LoJack had already been installed in the vehicle because the dealer uses it to help secure their inventory, and that it wasn't an option to buy the vehicle without it. The had a bundle of mandatory add-ons that totaled $1000 (paint protection, LoJack, clear shield on door edges).

Roseville was terrible to deal with both in sales and service. I bought from Dublin, they gave me a great price. When Roseville lost the brand, Dublin said they would valet my car 100+ miles. I have had a very bad experience at the newly opened Genesis dealer in Rocklin. Open less than a year and already on their second SM and GM. The experience is much better now.
