Battery cover
I picked up a 2010 IS350 a few months back. I was doing air filter change and noticed there is no cover over the battery. Is there supposed to be a cover? An exposed battery look out of place with everything else covered.

Yes, there is a cover
Yes there is a cover, it is part 28899-31030 "insulator, battery." When the battery is replaced often times the replacement battery has handles or slotted tabs a handle attaches to. The cover will not clear unless one cuts out two slots. Also, the positive cable is attached to the cover and removing the attaching bracket often destroys the battery cover. Most mechanics probably just toss the cover away during battery replacement. I like mine better with the cover. Does it really matter? Up to you.

I have lived in the Arizona desert for 50 years and have learned to replace my car battery every two years to prevent being suddenly stranded with a dead battery. Go figure.
