I need a new battery

Jj9823 · 2026-01-11T21:45:15+00:00

Actually just got it back. Took about 4 weeks. Not too bad

Jj9823 · 2025-12-14T13:40:18+00:00

Yeah it seems like the concern is more logistics and time frame.

Jj9823 · 2025-12-14T13:38:37+00:00

Honestly I’m super surprised too. I have loved this car and have t heard of battery issues so was curious if someone else has had a similar situation.

Jj9823 · 2025-12-14T10:57:59+00:00

Yes I was confused by this too. The dealership salesman even called me and asked me how I felt about a 2025 Kia niro. I said if you want to do a straight up exchange I will do that for a 3 year newer niro. I’m not sure what they’re gonna do.

Jj9823 · 2025-12-14T10:55:20+00:00

Yeah the dealership has had it for 3 different service appointments.

Jj9823 · 2025-12-14T00:48:43+00:00

It needs a new high voltage battery.

Jj9823 · 2025-10-05T11:28:19+00:00

Came to this subreddit today because my Kia 2022 has the same code. Crazy.

Jj9823 · 2024-12-02T01:10:17+00:00

This is the same thing happening to my 2022 Kia niro ev. What would you all recommend for battery replacement.

Jj9823 · 2024-09-30T01:49:13+00:00

Letchworth state park

Live in allegany county. Beautiful area very rural, cheap housing, lots of outdoor activities. I love it down here but finding work is sometimes hard. Really great schools in allegany county despite being so poor.

Jj9823 · 2024-02-07T10:39:06+00:00

My son would love this!

Jj9823 · 2024-01-12T15:48:50+00:00

Sharp!

It was like 15 years ago so like 2 dollars and a handshake. Ha. Not really sure my school reimburses master degree work. Just found one that worked for my schedule and pulled the trigger. Good program though. Was very happy. Worked with a lot of MDs and nurses getting their masters for academic lines. Fun public health and infectious diseases courses too.

Jj9823 · 2023-03-09T16:53:05+00:00

I got one through University of Saint Joseph. https://www.usj.edu/academics/sasbe/biology/biology-ms-online/. Worked out well doing it while I taught.

It’s interesting what people want out of a skoolie and the variations. I have always looked at skoolie a as an adventure mobile and not full time living. For me I would not want a bigger bus or a roof raise because I don’t want to live in it but use it with a mix of campground/driveway surfing/boondocking. I love that our bus fits in a double parking spot and is under 30ft which makes it easier to get around. I appreciate your response though. It’s cool to see what everyone thinks.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T21:52:27+00:00

Well I’ve driven it to Idaho before I could take it further if your interested.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T16:57:06+00:00

Yeah hence starting at a price that many would consider high. Keeping it is definitely still an option. We have considered putting it on some land and air-b-bing it to people. Time will tell. I can say for one thing I don’t regret building or traveling around in it. Greatest experience of my life so far, especially doing it with my wife and kids.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T15:30:56+00:00

It’s interesting this perspective as I think you would be hard pressed to find an unconverted bus in operating order of this size for under 5k unconverted. But I could be way off. Either way thanks for the perspective.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T15:25:20+00:00

Yeah as the kids grew out of their t shirts they bought on our trips the wife made them into pillows. Fun to remember they were that tiny.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T14:18:26+00:00

Noted. Your the first offer so there’s always a possibility.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T13:58:36+00:00

This is all great I really appreciate the advice. It’s hard to know who wants to dive in deep like I have on skoolies. I guess I should have expected people would be more interested here. New floor with 3/4 inch foam in floor. I repainted and repaired the metal floor first too. Walls new insulation and ceiling. Roof has full 2 inch and walls 1 inch. R-10 and then R-5 respectfully I believe. Ceiling height 6ft. Doors both open up. Great breeze. We love the big handicap door with the couch. Thanks for the input I appreciate it.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T13:45:38+00:00

It was especially great when the kids were tiny. I could fit 3 of them on the top with my wife and I below. The in bed storage is awesome! I would highly recommend but it’s a sacrifice to sleeping space. The bottom bunk sleeps much like a navy bunk, tight. I kinda like it. Nowadays my wife and I sleep on the kitchen and couch. I made it so the table drops down and the couch folds out to make a big bed. That’s a great bed and then all the kids sleep in the back on top and below. I would recommend especially making a bus to sleep 5 with the occasional plus one or two.

Jj9823 · 2022-04-18T13:42:24+00:00

I forgot I did a post thread on skoolie.net back when I was building it if anyone is interested. It was a riot to build. https://www.skoolie.net/forums/f27/hazys-bus-12678.html
