Does anyone know if Genesis batteries are harder to source here or is it just me?

I've had my GV70 for about a year and a half now and genuinely love the car, but last month it started throwing a low battery warning out of nowhere which caught me off guard because it's not that old. I figured finding the right battery spec for a Genesis in Abu Dhabi would be a whole research project since it's not exactly the most common brand at every corner garage. Started asking around and a friend who works in car imports told me the main thing to watch out for is making sure whoever replaces it actually uses the correct AGM type, not just a generic swap, because some workshops don't bother checking compatibility. I ended up finding a service through carbatteryreplacement-abu-dhabi.ae that specifically listed Genesis models and when I called they actually knew the GV70 requirements without me having to spell it out which was reassuring. The whole quick Genesis battery installation in Abu Dhabi experience was honestly way less complicated than I'd built it up to be in my head, they came to my location, had the right battery with them, and the car has been starting perfectly ever since. I think what surprised me most was that nobody tried to talk me into extra stuff, just did the job cleanly and left. For other Genesis owners here who've been nervous about finding proper service, it seems like there are actually people who know these cars now.
