At 114k you batteries need replacement? I'm way over those miles and still no issues.I guest it's like everything else some times we get lucky.let me know how Hybrid Restoration of Memphis works out.
I am almost at 60K miles on my 08 LSh. No problems with the hybrid system (so far), thank God! Your post got me curious and I checked some sites. There is www.thehybridshop.com (chain) that does reconditioning or replacement. If/when the time comes, I would be wondering whether to recondition or replace with used or new battery. Upon first thought, I would think used could be a gamble not knowing how much life it had left.

Sheesh.. 60k? Thats low. Im looking into trading it in but i cant see nothing thats comparable yet still affordable. And it not like lexus is working a payment plan out or something with me on fixing the hybrid battery. That website, been there. Refuebished 600s batteries are hard to come by and if u do the cost is not far off from dealer pricing which the dealer sells brand new. I wanna trade it before it give up. Or imma end up fixing it and staying with it. Which wouldnt be easy since it 5k+ to repair. I would never ever buy a used hybrid battery. One, electronics is non refundable. Second, then what? U stuck with a no good battery then still have to cough up more money. Smh these 600s come like s500s when they start to fall apart. Eveything cost money. Nothing is cheap

Yep, 60K. I bought it new and don't drive that much but love it when I do. My wife occasionally takes my car rather than her SUV just to keep the juices flowing in the LS.
