I needed to call roadside to get a boost.
Turning the ignition resulted in clicking that seems like the battery.
The boost worked fine.

This happened in Sep 2021 and the boost worked but I got the battery tested after.
The "Check alternator for electrical output" was 14.26V.
The "Check battery voltage" was 12.86V.

Nov 2022 the battery was tested as part of a service #1.
"Cold Cranking Amps" was 313 (factory spec is 410).

My question is about BEFORE the boost.
I noticed my main odometer was fine but the trip a and b odometers were reset.
Is that normal for a dead battery?

I bought mine aftermarket from Canadian Tire. One thing I will tell you is most Hyundai batteries are “custom sized” I bought a group 121 battery and its smaller than the original. So the original battery heat shield is too big. Depending on price, if I had to buy another battery, Id get an original OEM battery, or upgrade to an AGM.

Some are, but at least on our car the OEM battery is bigger in terms of dimensions. I see youre from Canada too, if you go into Canadian Tire the product number of the one I have is 010-1210

It also has a larger capacity of 550cca vs the 410cca of the factory one. I've never had an issue with it, apart from my heatshield rattling under certain rpm. I think though that has more to do with my intake/exhaust noise over the engine
