I downloaded the Lexus Hybrid CT200H service details. Covering years of use. Mostly they are checks. It does not need a Lexus Service Dealer. My local garage can do it all. Way cheaper and maybe better. My experience of Lexus Servicing was poor. I do low milage . The main problem is the auxiliary battery. I have to charge it separately every week. It would not last a fortnight stay at an airport car park, I am on my 3rd aux battery. With weakly charging I am now on top of it. I fitted a charging port for the aux battery. 14,500 miles on the clock/ODO.

It is best to fit an AMG 12V aux battery in the boot of the CT200h, In a rear end shunt little battery acid will occur and cause major hazard and damage. Also the genuine AMG 12v aux battery is a deep cycle battery.

When you look at specified Lexus service details for year or miles . Its mostly checks. The first on the list is check drivers mat fitted correctly. The only normal things to do under service is change oil and oil filter. A service is mostly checks via OBD I suspect and things like wheel rotation, and fluid levels. After warranty my 2015 CT200h car is serviced now by my local garage.

In sport mode my 2015 CT200h scares me. Wheel spin. Normal mode is how most drive and is great. No issues with hills on holiday in Yorkshire.

I fitted a genuine Yuasa AMG battery for my CT200 , 20HR 45AH CCA 325A S46B24R Cost £183 from dealer on Amazon. Next day delivery.

I have today.New Yuasa 12V Aux battery fitted by me. My 2015 Lexus CT200h Aux battery was flakey, I needed a jump start from a friend. Just enough to boot the computers to start the car. The aux battery is charged from the Hybrid battery via a DC to DC buck converter ie 210V DC to approx 14.5V DC to charge the aux battery. I added a direct connection to my new Aux battery, to be able to charge in car downtime, using NOCO Genious 2 charger. A NOCO spade connector adaptor connected directly to my new aux battery. I can now easily connect my NOCO Genius 2 charger directly to the aux battery. I find owning a car without an alternator and starter motor a new experience. I have now read up on hybrid cars and how they work. Very interesting.
