Re: How long does 12v battery last?

On Amazon, I found a new AC Delco LN1 battery for my 2014 Spark EV and ordered it. The car is now back in business. The one thing about AGM batteries is when they die it usually is suddenly. My 2016 Spark EV will soon need to have the 12 volt battery changed too.

Re: How long does 12v battery last?

I jumped into my 2014 Spark EV last week, pressed the start button and all of the lights in the instrument cluster started flashing and... the car would not start. I tried charging the 12 volt battery overnight but it did not help. Then I measured the voltage across the battery posts and saw only 11...

Re: New Owner 2015 Battery Issues

I have a 2014 Spark EV and a 2016 Spark EV. Both cars have about 35k miles on the ODO and currently give about 80-85 mi on a fully charged battery using 120 VAC. This drops significantly if I use the AC or heater. You did not mention what you are seeing in terms of mi/kWh but I am assuming you are a...

Re: Wrinkles in black trim tape between doors, how to fix?

I have the peeling decal problem on both my 2014 and 2016 Spark EVs. So... I tried peeling off the decals on my 2014 Spark EV. Wala!!! The decals came off cleanly with just a little effort and patience. The car still looks great. Tomorrow, I will peel off the decals on my 2016 Spark EV. Thanks so mu...

Re: How long does 12v battery last?

I have a 2014 Spark EV and a 2016 Spark EV. Both were purchased as used vehicles about 6-7 years ago and both were very low mileage vehicles - 1.5k miles on the 2014 and 6.5k miles on the 2016. My first maintenance step was to replace the 12 volt AGM battery in both vehicles. I have maintained thes...

Re: Battery warranty advice for 2014 Spark

I am curious - where do you get the vehicle's current Ah value? I do not see it listed in the PIDs for TorquePro. Lower-right gauge here on my screen w/ Bolt PIDs https://photos.app.goo.gl/zrXzsrYTur3yEpoQA You probably have a newer list of Bolt PIDs than I do. The list I use was provided years ago...

Re: Battery warranty advice for 2014 Spark

The moderator needs to post this a sticky. If you have a 2014, you are strongly advised to TEST your battery aggressively TODAY, in order to get a warranty claim logged before it is too late. It took one month of research on this forum and others to put Chevy in the warranty box. NO battery yet, bu...
