Hello everyone, Just wanted to share my Lexus Rx450h battery replacement. After a lot of reading on different forums I've decided to go for a simple standard Bosch s4 024 12V 60Ah Type 005L battery (see photos). Cost was GBP 67.95 delivered Size wise it fits perfectly. There are two vent plugs on both sides of the battery. One was removed to fit the vent tube....but the vent tube was slightly larger than the vent hole. I just carefully extended the hole with a drill to fit the size of the standard Lexus vent tube. After that, battery was fitted without any issues. The debate about AGM batteries feels a bit strange, bearing in mind that the standard Panasonic D23 battery is not AGM (mine was fitted 12 years ago and was never changed). Hope that helps someone. Any questions, let me know
