I have sold my Kia Soul EV previous year (7 years old too) in July 2021 (replaced with IONIQ 5) when there was 145000 km on the odometer with still 91% SOH. Date km SOH(KDS) Avg Det Max Det Min Det 13-7-2021 145133 91.2 17.3 19.3 15.2

At 100% SOC, my Kia Soul EV from 2014 with almost 140.000 km reads 4,14V max and 4.12V min. My Max Det is 19.8% and Min Det is 17,8%, Average 18.8%. So my car has about 91% SOH. My pessimistic GOM only shows about 100 km range (1% battery is 1 km range :oops: ), but this is because a lot of...

Kia can also read out the SOH with their Kia KDS system. Here are 2 readouts from my dealer in the Netherlands (Eindhoven) in 2016 and 2018 for my car: KDS_20161109_154550885.jpg KDS_20180718_140906727.jpg My readings with Torque Pro and Soul Spy gave almost the same result. But make sure...

Apparently your BMS has been recalibrated anyway and the SOH% is bad. You do not need to measure this at 100% SOC. So it is below 70% SOH and you should get a replacement battery under guarantee (assuming the service intervals have been done by the previous owner).

They just read out what the BMS thinks, what we also do with the OBDII dongle and Torque Pro or Soul Spy. For me it took also a long time before the battery was recalibrated and the GOM was very optimistic :oops: Especially, because I normally try to keep the battery between 30% and 80%. Twice...

Apparently a new fix is coming, according to that facebook link: I did use Torque Pro and a OBDII bluetooth dongle, see this post.. But I get -50.0 C out of the sensors, I do not know if this definitely means that I have a battery heater, because the values do not make sense.

See this article of battery university: BU-803a: Cell Matching and Balancing.

For me the reason to have an software update was this recall for the EPB: ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) LOGIC IMPROVEMENT(SC191). And while applying it, they found also another software update, which they told me was related to airco and charging. Which one, I do not know, but suspected SA427.

I do indeed not know 100% sure if this was this update. But they talked about some changes to the software related to the airco while charging. See this post. Unfortunately I do not have a printout of the software updates performed.

Hmm, Torque gave me -50.0 C as answer for both. This is what I have in the .csv: 000_Battery Heater 1 Temperature,Heater Temp1,2105,Signed(X),-40,120,C,7E4 000_Battery Heater 2 Temperature,Heater Temp2,2105,Signed(Y),-40,120,C,7E4 So I would have expected -40.0 C or 0.0 C when the sensors do...

How can I check I have a battery heater? I have a heat pump. Here is a picture I took today: If I compare this with the picture of this post it looks the same as if one which also has a heat pump. But I could not find how to check I have a battery heater, yes or no. I found this...

Buy an Konwei OBDII dongle and read out the State Of Health (SOH) and battery cells with either Soul Spy Lite or Torque Pro on an Android phone. You are from the Netherlands? I have a Kia Soul 2014 with almost 140.000 km and SOH of 91% in the Netherlands. With this winter temperatures around 0...

I life in the Netherlands and with the temperatures around 0 degrees Celcius, my heatpump is just working as expected, although I had the software update on my Kia Soul EV of 2014: BMS software update. So it looks like there is something different with the software update in Canada. What I...
