As demonstrated around this thread Ioniq PHEVs have problems with the 12V battery.
If it dies, your car may be locked and dead to the world and you. Best wishes.
My 2019 PHEV Limited has died twice and exhibited numerous error messages.
In the most recent death spiral, after jump starting it, a guy at O'Reilly Auto Parts told me my battery was dead and he could not replace it because it was just too odd. If you look, you will see it's really small. If you study further, you will find the polarity (+/-) is reversed. Don't ask me why, just pay attention when you buy a new battery.
You can, of course, take your car to a dealer, sign away your first born and mortgage your house and get a new battery. Your choice.
I called the dealer and was told to install and buy a new battery would be $530.32, more than I wanted to pay. I searched far and wide and on this forum found some ideas for a replacement.
Armed with that I found, at NAPA, a battery that would fit and work. The guy at NAPA tested the battery that was supposed to be dead and said it was fine. It was replaced under warranty 15 months before so I figure it has a lot of life left.
But... I wanted a battery to keep handy in case of failure because this has happened before and I read that 12V battery failure issues occure frequently.
Now, I have a spare battery and am using my dealer replaced-under-warranty battery until it fails.
