myLexus007 - Did you happen to notice that the second item NOT COVERED happens to be 'batteries'?

You purchased a used car that has used parts, some of which are covered under the warranty, and some are not...

the dealer wants to charge you $600 to fix a car battery? Batteries are wear items and can die randomly. Happened to me a few times with batteries dying in under 3 years. Hell Walmart sells Everstart Maxx batteries with 5 year (3 year replacement and 2 years prorated) warranty for about $120. Install it yourself and get it over with.

His car is a 2013 GS 450h, which has a different starter battery (compared to the GS 350) that is mounted in the trunk and has wiring for an onboard temperature sensor and requires the battery be vented via a vent hose. The OE specialized battery can be replaced with an Optima type battery and just re-use the temperature sensor from the old battery and abandon the vent hose...but that's a different story.

2013 GS350 CPO in the south here. With the recent blast of real winter, my GS battery died. I went to the Lexus dealership where I bought it CPO 1.5 years ago and they looked up the record on the car. In service date was 12/2012 and OE battery replaced in Nov 2015. I had that replacement battery replaced today (Dec 2017). Because it was a little over two years, I only got the 50% prorated price. It came out to $105 and change. I waited 1.5 hours for them to change it. Next time, I'm going to Costco with their 3-year-warranty Interstate Batteries and switching it myself. Cheaper, less waiting, and better warranty.

Only bright note, I got Lexus coffee and cookies...

[QUOTE=bclexus;10069592]I would not necessarily be concerned that the battery has needed to be replaced twice in 4 years. Lots of things determine how long a battery may last. Parking outside or in an unheated garage in the frigid winter temperatures, taking very short trips, etc., etc. Batteries go bad just like light bulbs burn out before they should. It happens! It's not all that uncommon for a battery to have a bad or shorted cell within a couple of years. That's why batteries come with warranties. Your fairly new battery should have warranty that is separate from the CPO warranty. Don't just think that your CPO warranty should cover everything! (Read your CPO warranty so you will know what is covered - and what is not covered.)


I never said I wanted them to cover my battery under CPO so you should probably re-read what I posted initially. I was just asking if I should be concerned that the battery had to be replaced twice in 4 years. I realize it's a wear and tear item that I'd have to pay for replacement.
For anyone that's interested they tested the battery and confirmed it is bad. I've had the TSB for the parasitic drain done already when I first got the car. They tested my "electrical system" and confirmed there's no issue. I only had to pay a pro-rated cost of $66 since it was just outside of the 2 yrs. Hopefully this battery won't die again in 2 years.

A Battery Tender is your friend! Use one whenever possible when not driving your car.

nerv81

I have a battery tender which I was using while the battery was giving me issues to make sure it would start every morning. It's just not convenient for me to constantly connect it when I get home especially when I'm carrying my kid(s) into the house. My cars at least sit in the garage so they're not out in these single digit temps we've had lately. I always connect one when I go on vacation though.

charley95

I hear ya. Ya just never know with batteries, just sold my old Buick beater which still had the same battery in it when I got the car in 09. It was some cheap brand and it never had a charger on it. Bought a new Vette in 95 and was able to get 9 yrs. out of the original battery that always had a Tender on it. I changed it back then just due to the age of it.

nerv81 - Nice twist on your own words! You may not have said that you wanted them to cover your battery under CPO, but what you DID ASK was; 'So my question is, do they replace the batt under CPO certification'...? You need to re-read what you posted since your recollection is wrong!

My response to your question (do they replace the batt under CPO certification?) was fair, accurate and precise; 'Your fairly new battery should have warranty that is separate from the CPO warranty. Don't just think that your CPO warranty should cover everything! (Read your CPO warranty so you will know what is covered - and what is not covered.).

nerv81

Simple math would help understand my question. I asked if they replace the batt under CPO certification because as I mentioned my batt is 2 years old and I purchased the car 2 years ago so I what I'm trying to figure out is IF they replaced the batt just because the car is CPO or if they only replace it if something is wrong. You're not helping with this post so unless you have something insightful to help someone who's looking for information please stop flooding this thread with petty internet bickering.

Here is your answer: Lexus is NOT going to replace a 2 year-old battery (or a 5 year-old battery) on a CPO car if the battery checks out to be good with a load test. Lexus does NOT just replace a battery that tests good because it is a CPO vehicle. Hopefully that answer is clear, makes sense and is understandable to you. Does it?

my 2 year-old Lexus battery died couple of nights ago..

The car was sitting in a cold parking garage for 2 weeks and it was 5* F 11:30pm..

AAA drove by in 30 mins and gave me a jump.

FWIW, my battery died once but I think it was because I didn't close the door all the way and the lights were on for at least 24 to 48 hours as I don't drive everyday. I jumped it and so far it has not died again. 2013 GS350 bought in June of 2013.

I was worried too because on New Years, it was -18* at one point.

That low temperature is rough on batteries...but even more damaging to engines.

Battery makers recommend having the battery load tested once every year after the battery becomes two years old. National Tire & Battery (NTB) does this at no-charge...and can be done in their parking lot in just a couple of minutes. It's a good way to keep abreast of the health of your battery as it gets some age on it.

I believe the courtesy lights on the doors automatically go out after a minute or two so it doesn't drain the battery. I know my Lexus projector courtesy lights automatically go out after a minute or two...

Lexus battery is made by Panasonic I believe. Short battery life can be caused by charging system issues too. Make sure charging system is working alright B4 installing replacement. This sort of things can be taken care of better by a specialty shop.
