Let's not beat this to death guys. To each of their own and I understand coming from racing and weight is your enemy. Little secret, I don't even carry the owner's manual in the car, my wife thinks I'm nuts, and I added maybe 25lbs of Dynamat to the car.

I don't understand why we have about 6 threads all discussing the same issues and the same batteries.

I no that if needed I can use my lithium charger if need be. in the month of Feb it was the teens in N.J. the car start right up. as I said I used a Qdyessy battery cost me 275 shipped add the two togather 750. so the lithium battery cost me 450 shipped. to me the 450 upgrade was cheap for 42.2 lbs weight lost. this is what guy don't understand the lithium battery cost 450 and lost 42.2 lbs because I needed a new battery. I only use Qdyessy battery.

you understand what I am talking about. people would think I was crazy year ago we did drill the chassis to make the car lighter. the lighter the car the faster you can go ( FACT ) its about weight

Default LX Battery

Lexus has an 84 month Toyota battery they sell and warranty. I just put one in my wife’s 2015 GS350 AWD F-Sport. I also put one in my daughter’s 2001 LX470 (at my Toyota dealer). If I have a warranty issue, I have to go to the Lexus dealer for it.

Do you mind sharing the cost of the 84 mo. Toyota battery? I had a factory one in my 2001 Tundra that lasted 12 years!

We paid about $250 for the battery and installation/reprogramming of different settings for the GS.

We paid about $160 at the Toyota dealer (with our standard discount for the LX470. ;-) We have been going to this dealer for 25+ years. I don’t think anything had to be reprogrammed.

Dang if I can get a 7 year battery for $150s, I am ALL over that. Do you know if you have to leave your car there while they swap it out, or can you just exchange it over the counter?

So it looks like it is free replacement for only 2 years.

Then it is prorated.

I think I am better off with Costco. I bought a battery many many years ago. They keep dying before the warranty wears out. They give me a refund and I buy a new one, restarting the warranty period. I haven't had to pay for a battery in over 6 years.

We waited while the Toyota dealer installed the battery. I don’t see why you couldn’t buy one over the counter but I’m not sure how that works with the warranty. I live in the Denver area. I’m sure prices may be higher in other parts of the country.

Hey,
Today I replaced 12V battery in my Lexus GS300h. I found one at Toyota - 28800-YZZZJ 65Ah, it's a little bit shorter than Panasonic but it fit p&p. Another code of this batter is: 55D23L. This battery is used in RAV4, Auris and corolla.

Default Rx450h 2010 12v battery

Dear all,
My RX2010 is about 200k km and still running well in Canada.
in Jan, we left the car outside for 1 month trip. When we come back, it started good but there were a warning : Check break system.
i run for a day and the the warning disappeared.
One month ago, during a long drive 200km, there was warning : check PCS system, then check Hybrid system. The car still running normal.
i opened the 12v battery, it is the original Panasonic, there was a little of water at the bottom of the battery compartment. I removed the battery and drain the water and replug the battery. The car run good no warning for 2 weeks then the Check PCS and check Hybrid system come back again

- why there are water at the bottom of the battery compartment? There are 2 rubber drains why does Lexus keep them closed and hold the water there?
- do you think I just need to replace the 12v battery? Do I need to pour a little of water under the battery?
- any other suggestions please.
thank you very much
