It’s the reliability of the oem battery that maybe makes it worth the money.

tell me the difference between 12 years of one battery and 12 years with 4 batteries.

three failures.

I use bosch agm’s in both my cars.

If you replace them every 3 years as a maintenance item you won't ever have a failure. 3 years is way early for a good quality battery

I was only able to average two years out of my batteries with the LS...garages car...driven 80 highway miles a day.

Luckily I bought a battery from a parts store that had a warranty and actually covered it (one time).

Batteries are relatively cheap maintenance anyway - when you live in NE nothing is worse than sitting there while your car doesn’t start, in some parking lot in 10 degree weather...at night. Been there, done that. Lol

Just left the Lexus dealer and I have the part # for the Panasonic battery. # 28800-38100 $778 plus tax. They had not heard of a battery lasting that long. If you guys have the LS check what battery you have. I presume they all come with that battery.

The LS460 do not all come with the same size battery. There are two battery options: standard and cold weather package.
