Signs: Usually none; on some cars a battery warning light, or a charge limit set by the dealer until the fix
Fix: Ask a Hyundai dealer to check by VIN that all battery campaigns are done: BMS software update and inspection, and a new battery where cells are out of tolerance

Signs: EV system warning or 'Refill inverter coolant' message with the level normal; pump runs loud or fast; in bad cases reduced power
