Have you got the original Battery from Lexus? If so they are a little bit weedy - in my old IS I had Battery problems and swapped it out for a calcium jobby from Halfords (approx £75) - which was MUCH better and is a small cost to pay for peace of mind IMO.

*EDIT* Halfords code for IS200 Calcium Battery is HCB005 Battery size is 6DA

Check out your local toyota price for a Battery, with discount around 50 notes.

Yep - like I said: I'd reccommend the Halfrauds Calcium Battery - you'll notice the difference.
