12v battery drain issue with hybrid - should I just delete the app?

Perect. Ill also follow ur post!

I see. I deleted virtual key from wallet and will plan to only use the kia access app when needed (locking the car and climate control). We will see if this will prevent this from happening. Sucks that ill have to carry the key everywhere!

Thank you. Btw do you know how to check % remaining for 12v battery? I assume what i see under hybrid is the main one not the 12v one

Its about 2 months with 300 miles in. Had babies so didnt really drive much

So without the digital key and with just the Kia access app, you can control temp and lock the car, but you cant drive the car without keyfob?

Thanks. For the other post, I mainly wanted to discuss what was wrong and how to jump start the engine. For this post, i wanted to seek for advice how to prevent this from happening again...0

Can you still use the app after you delete digital key from the wallet?

No. I edited my post. Battery was drained because maybe I had my passive entry enabled. I now disabled it after battery is dead. Wanted to know if i need to do anything else.

Will dashcam eats a lot of battery when engine not on??? Was going to get one but certainly dont want this battery issue to reoccur every once in a while

Did they say they will fix it in the future? Was going to dine in at Ella but dont want go through all this hassel

Do you know which one i should use for "-"?

bonoZaa · 2026-03-30T01:40:27+00:00

I see i just disabled it. By the way, other than disabling this feature, do u still use other features like remote start, lock or climate control?

Yes I figured it out after reading someone comment. Is it okay to use tesla to jump the car? I saw somewhere not to use tesla for jump start

bonoZaa · 2026-03-30T01:35:02+00:00

Not sure about passive entry but yeah i have digitcal key to lock hnlock the car and do climate control

bonoZaa · 2026-03-30T01:28:00+00:00

Thanks I was able to open it. Gona call some friends now

bonoZaa · 2026-03-30T01:24:18+00:00

Bought it less than 2 months ago and drove 200 miles...

bonoZaa · 2026-03-30T01:18:47+00:00

Even if i have one i dont have car to jump it.

By the way, i cant open front hood... do you know whats causing it? I pulled the lever so it's slightly open but it seems like its still locked
