Will they get rid of the "pauses" in charging when we get our new batteries?

Correct. However, do you think it really matters?
On a 9-10h charge (L2) do 10 more minutes really matter?
On case of DC fast charge. Why would you ever DC fast charge above 80% anyways?

 

Since the recall replaces the entire BSA (Battery System Assembly), which also includes the BMS electronics and firmware, you're getting a complete battery system and BMS to the same spec as used in production!

Well, that's easy more than a 10 minute balancing action and definitely shouldn't be happening with a non recall battery. As mentioned, the BMS will definitely be changed/updated once recalled.

 

So, would anyone reading this thread with a post-March 2020 battery please say if they are getting these 10 minute delays?

 

Thanks for that.

 

To my knowledge I am not experiencing a 10 minute delay. Where/when would the delay occur and how would I know it's happening? My vehicle appears to be charging normally but I have only had mine for a month....

 

The delays were introduced to help balance the cell voltages better than before. They kick in at just above 80% SoC and again at just above 90% SoC.
It was a "fix" to reduce the risk of fire and it only applied to the battery packs built prior to March 2020.
We all expect/hope that when our older packs are replaced, we won't have those delays anymore - they'll be unnecessary.

As your car is likely a 2021 model, you shouldn't be experiencing the delays at all.

 

Mine's a 2020 but the battery date is April 22 2020 so I appear to have snuck in under the wire. I have only charged past 80% when overnight charging during my travel days between New Jersey and Florida in February so if there were any delays I was sleeping when they occurred. At home I stop at 80% for battery health purposes.

 

The new Hyundai ioniq 5 was recently spotted charging at 140kW just before 80%, pausing for a whilec charging at 3kW, and then accelerating the charge speed again. So I take the pause is going to stick there for Kona too.

 

I'd be highly surprised if they didn't re-use the electronics in the pack - the labour to swap the modules should be less than the cost of new manufacture.
Chances are they'd do a software update after replacing the pack.

 

Did I miss something here are pre 2020 kona's getting new Batterys ???
