I came to the IONIQ 5 this morning and it wouldn’t open. Nothing! Dead! Here I show how to get it started again by using a small portable battery starter/jump starter.

You could say I’ve had a bit of experience with 12-volt batteries dying prematurely. I made three videos about it in my old Kia e-Niro. Worryingly, it looks like history’s going to repeat itself! Nooooo!

I can’t find the jump starter I have any more, but here are a couple of options that should be suitable (I haven’t tested them though!):

And the battery monitor (which I'll show in a video soon) is here...
