Leave an accessory on? Charge it back up and have it tested.

Battery is charged back up, going to dealer in a few minutes to have them test it and run diag on the car

Any things to tell them to double check for?

I'm out of state right now, when I get back I'll get the info from the dealer

I have no idea how it died (as of now)
It's just a regular Panasonic battery, I'll get the model numbers when I get back to the car
I forget the crank specs, I would definitely not replace with a Brailie light weight
If you got subs you should probably put in a cap, I've had issues before directly connecting to battery

Special and very expensive Panasonic battery for Lexus hybrid models. No chance to replace with AM batteries but good chance to charge with world leading CTEK
I had the same issue and fortunately I didn't buy a new battery but a charger.

What do you mean a new charger?

You are using a trickle for your Lexus?

Does the panasonic battery need regular maintenance (adding distilled water and whatnot)?

I mean I bought an external charger and installed a cable to easily plug-in the charger.

Yes, I use the CTEK as trickle charger whenever she is in the garage.

I tested new DVD's and the next day I couldn't open the doors. It was absolutely no fun, after recharging the battery the horn waked up the whole neighborhood. I strongly recommend that every owner knows how to open (driver door & trunk) with the sweet little key and where the battery is located. Calling a workshop is for sure an option.

Caps are power bandits. Connect it always to a special and additional audio battery and make sure it is not discharging the stock battery. With 450 W and 19 speakers the LS600h can produce enough audio noise. By nature it is no audio show car.

A smart key too close to the vehicle can kill the battery, only a matter of communication time.
