Actually just noticed the one you've listed shows as 41Ah - in that thread it shows standard at 45 and uprated at 60 - do they offer different capacity batteries, if so you may need slightly bigger capactiy than the exact model you've chosen!

Well I actually brought this Battery and it died on me 8 months later got told it was the alternator etc but if it isn't bigger to run the car then that will be why.

I can always use it as a second Battery now that I already have it

So from your opinions do you think that this Battery is not powerful enough to run the car?

Hi,

Can anyone please advise if this Battery is good enough to run an is200 Sport navigator?

Thanks

I have been told by 2 garages including Toyota that the output should be above 12.5 with a load so I would welcome any comments on this.

The Battery has only died once, I am getting a ctek charger for the yellow top and I will charge it and put it back in possibly as a secondary Battery.

I will check the boot light thanks, no auxilary items apart I have the navigator is200 sport, before the Battery failed I did notice the cd player acting strange and even came up with alarm at one point.

I have replaced the Alternator on my is200 after my yellow top Battery died after 8 months, the new voltages that the Alternator is putting out is 14.15 and 12.56 on load does this sound correct?

The garage thinks it could be a power drain if the problem continues, if anyone can suggest how to find the power drain that would be great. I will check the fuses etc and make sure nothing is left.

Does the alternator output sound correct?

Had my Yellow top for 8 months and it died on me

Yes it is extortion I actually couldn't help myself from laughing when the guy said £900 fitted! I have managed to source one for £65 including delivery not brand new but a good saving.

Does anyone know how easy these are to fit for a novice or should I take it to a garage, my Toyota garage won't fit parts that I bring in probably so they can sell me the parts at daft prices. They wanted £720 for 4 shock absorbers, so I sourced them from buypartby at a mere £200. I can not say what is wrong the garage prices but the one closest to me won't even take Lexus in!

Well if you think that is expensive try a quote for £650 from toyota for a genuine and £500 for an aftermarket one!

Does anyone know anywhere I can buy one from at a reasonable price?

This happened to me this week, I took it to the garage and they confirmed it is the alternator which would lead to the Battery not charging. I had a Optima Yellow Top Battery only had it 8 months and I am sure its not the Battery.
