Welcome aboard, Ryan! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. You have a Genesis GV80? If so, how are you liking it? And what did it replace for you?

I am loving it. I only drive it while working but my main concern is with the battery. A lot of the GV80’s (along with the sedans) batteries seem to be draining kind of quick. Within a couple weeks of a vehicle not starting, the battery dies. I was told the batteries have to come from Genesis (Korea) and are on back order for several months. Any advice on this?

Not sure about that, but we do have a dedicated GV80 section where you can do a search on the topic and start a new discussion if people aren't already discussing it.

There have been people with battery issues. I was having problems where mine was not charging up above 60%, so auto start/stop was not working. I took my GV80 in for service and they checked and replaced my battery. At least my dealership had one in stock. It has been almost a year since that and have had no issues since. A lot of owners are buying battery tenders to keep their battery up when they are not driving it regularly. Seems to be the best thing to do.
