    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

ICCU died last week and just on a 2 week wait for parts.
Unfortunately it also led to the death of the 12v battery due to rapid discharge, which workshop argues its part of wear and tear with only 2 year warranty, price of replacement $560.
Trying to put forth the argument that it failed only due to the iccu failing. it's a consequential loss, not from wear and tear and I should be covered along under the Australian consumer law.

Despite that, I still want to replace the oem 12v.
Can't find a shred of info on it, is it some proprietary shape or design of the group 65 agm?

The whole HKG group seems to be riddled with this iccu (new vehicles still have the same part) and 12v battery issue, surprised there hasn't been some group action of sorts.

Have you looked on the Hyundai parts site? I would imaging it is used on more than one model, including Kia. Also search for photos of battery installation. I finally identified the Korean manufacturer of my original GV80 "reverse terminal" battery via installation pics on various forums and YouTube. From there I found a local dealer and saved about $300 from what Genesis wanted for it. Not sure if it would help at all but the product name is "Rocket Battery" and is a large Group H9/49 for the GV80. I suspect the 12v on your GV60 is smaller. A lot of GV80 users have indeed switched to the Group 65 because it is easier to find in USA with the reversed terminals our vehicles need. I preferred not to do that due to the reduced CCA and reserve capacity, but if it is regularly used and kept in a climate controlled garage or in milder climes, then it should be fine but maybe not last as long. Are you not able to access the battery in your car to see what it looks like, specs, and product label? See pic for mine.

One other thing...If you have not already tried or determined it, before you spend the $$$ on a new 12v, I would take it out, put it on a good AGM charger and then test it when it reaches 100% (or whatever max it goes). That one may be perfectly fine even though it fully discharged.

And dont reinstall it until they fix the ICCU.
