Unhappy Battery

Hi All, I have 2017 GS 300h. The Battery is almost dead and I'm trying to source and fit the battery. I'm unable to find one in the market. Today I went to Halfords and they couldn't get one from their database. I shopped around numerous websites and I've hit the wall. Do you any of have similar issues and how you got it resolved.

What is a GS 300h? Real men drive the 450h. Haven't you heard the song from Sammy Hagar, "I can't drive 55!". Sorry, early Sunday morning here and was feeling rambuncious. You must be overseas from the US somewhere. Good Luck!

The 300h/450h battery is not a common size. I ended up getting a larger battery and modifying the battery tray so it would fit.

Otherwise your best option is to buy one from a Lexus/Toyota dealer.

Your location is listed as 'not applicable'. That couldn't be further from the truth. I know you're a pom so look for a Bosch S4 069 battery. Available from your RAC shop, you can get it delivered.

@peasodos I figured that's what it was - there was definitely a lot of tension on that Clubhouse sub-forum when that thread started.

Why don’t you buy the battery from Lexus? It’s an exact fit.
