That is a serious stain on that dealership, IMO. Again, I would pursue that with the zone office.
My '19 ES350 FSport battery just died and luckily Lexus replaced it for free under warranty. I am just wondering why my original battery has such a short life. My car was original purchased new in mid September 2019 (35 months ago) and currently at 21K miles. Also my '17 GX460 battery died after 4 yrs and out of warranty. I know battery will typically last between3 to 5 years. However, I saw someone is still running Lexus original battery for 7 years and counting. Does Lexus battery brand supposed to be better (last longer) than others?
If you drive long distances, and keep short trips to a minimum, don’t spend too much time idling, and regularly top up with demineralised water, then the Lexus OEM Panasonic battery with genuinely “pure” silver anodes can last quite a long time, like 5 years or more.
Lexus won’t sell genuine OEM Panasonic battery, and if they do, it will be at least $1,500 each.
Aftermarket batteries don’t use genuinely pure silver anodes, so they generally only last 2-3 years due to side reactions - even more so if they’re the maintenance-free type with no way to add demineralised water - unless you’re good at prying the caps open.
