I replaced the OEM Lexus one with a Bosch AsiaSilver (or Silverasia) one and I think it's better than the original one. Cost about £45 I think from Allparts.

That sounds ok do u have a link 4 them plz
Parthiban
Yep, here you go...... Linky smile.gif

Think the one you need is 6AD but can't remember for sure. I was lucky as there was an Allparts near me so just went in and picked one up, but people on here have used the delivery service and they seem pretty good.

If the battery choice comes down to similar prices, go for the best name/guarantee and the
biggest Ah ( Amp/Hour) rating. The higher the number the more powerful (in theory).

Previously I used a company called etyres and they come to you, which was handy as mine died suddenly
(in my Honda Accord).

Wow, I remember going to Halfords when I needed to replace mine and it seems I was lucky that they didn't have one that would fit (due to the weird size that the Japs use)

Sorry, just checked it out and I was talking rubbish, didn't pay £45, paid £65 when I replaced mine shutup.gif

I still think the Bosch one is a better battery, car sounds much healthier when it starts than it used to, so I'd still go with that one smile.gif

Not sure if I got a dud set when I got them, but I didn't like those aerotwin wipers and sent them back. Love the way they look, but they made far too much noise compared to the standard ones...........

As the standard ones cost so little, seems silly to pay more for ones that I wasn't happy with. Think I must have got a bad set though as many others seem to be pretty happy with them unsure.gif

Thought my battery was stuffed,the car would not start if I left it 4 a day or 2
but got a shot of a trickel charger from a mate & I've had no problems since
even if I leave it for a week without starting it
so thats even cheaper

Bloody hell, I did buy mine a while back now but that's some crazy inflation!

At that price, the Lexus battery from a dealer sounds like the better buy!

wouldnt rely too much on the indicator it doesnt always show the state of the battery - its only for 1 cell also so not so accurate as the other celss could be dead (
as in my case)
