Tipler, I live in SE Wisconsin and I always carry a voltmeter and load tester with me. If you are in this corner of the state (or headed to the Packer game next weekend), send me a PM and we can arrange to meet.

I agree with the op. no extra loads 4 yr old battery completely dead = $170 to replace the battery ...I could get nearly any battery on the market new with a longer warranty for that price.

what would the voltage and load tell me ?
One would think Toyota would of done the test when I had the GX in for the battery the third time , took 3 times to get battery switched out which I'm being told was a full charged battery. Go figure I drive 75 miles to Toyota Dealer to tell me it's fully charged .
Thanks again for the offer !

I started having battery problems with my 06 CPO GX about 6 months ago. Couldn't find any thing wrong. About 3 weeks ago the engine light came on. Since it is under warranty they came and got it put in a new battery and charged me around $350! I complained but was told the battery is not covered under warranty. The battery was 33 months old. Does anyone know what the warranty would be on the battery itself?

fantic, who originally installed the 33-month old battery and did you receive any paperwork with it? Warranties terms and conditions can vary widely.

Battery voltage is kind of the electrical equivalent of a fuel gauge and tells you how much energy is in the electrical fuel tank. Fully-charged batteries should measure at least 12.6 volts. A load-test on a fully-charged battery should yield test results measure in cold cranking amps that give you an idea of whether or not a battery rated at 600 CCAs (or whatever the number is) can actually produce that on demand.

Did the paperwork from the dealership include warranty information and was the third battery the same battery that lasted 33 months? Generally, batteries should meet or exceed the CCA requirements for the engine.

If you do, great, if not stop wasting time and go to Autozone, Sears etc. and buy a battery that works then go back to the dealer and return your Toyota battery and get your money back. If your dealer can't get a battery to work out of 3 tries either something is wrong w/ that dealer and or their supplies or something is wrong w/ your GX.

Heck we had -21 degrees and the bells and whistles at the turn of key was not even starting up until a few seconds then bingo the turn over happen .
I'm going to see about having a different battery put in and NOT A TOYOTA Battery .
Thanks again Jim ,
If it wasn't for a Lexus dealer being 200 miles away I'd have it replaced at a Lexus Dealer and then let it be their issue .

I have not been impressed with my recent Toyota battery at all esp by comparison with the one it replaced that lasted a good 5 or 6 yrs. This new one (3yrs old) is **** and does not have the CCA needed when the temps really drop, which has left me to get a jump on more than one occassion. Happened again during this last cold snap, so I said the hell iwth it, I am getting a new battery because I am not gonig to be stranded on cold night in an airport parkig lot
My new Odessy battery arrived on my door steop this afternoon. Can't wait to get this baby in!
