Default Battery went dead, dead, dead!

2009 ES350, 60K miles, was parked for less than 2 hours. Battery apparently went dead, no interior lights, remote, etc. Dead, dead! No previous sluggish starts, no corrosion battery. Jump started, drove approx. 10 miles and is now working perfectly. No check engine light. No sluggish starts, but my wife is afraid to drive it. Anybody have any suggestions?

You should probably have the battery and charging system checked to see if there is a problem somewhere along the line.

If original battery, it died a timely death.

When did you buy car: month/year?

Mine must be on life support. 7 1/2 years and still ticking. I got 8 years out of the Panasonic in my previous ES.

Of course now that I've posted this...
