Battery Replacement
Battery Replacement for 2003 LX470? I have a pretty serious soundsystem and remote start/alarm.
Optima? Energizer? I don't know which one to go with so was hoping that you guys would help me out!
Thanks,
LL

Take a look at this:

Can't remember who makes the Odysseys, but I was planning to side-by-side two PC 1200's since I've got a lot of A/V equipment & plans for more.
Have to custom fab a battery tray, but I believe they'll fit. Or you can go w/ one big one.

I have seen two PC1200's fit side-by-side in a LX, but as you say, the tray was custom. I wish someone made an aftermarket one for the LX. I'd probably go w/ the pc1700. You'll probably have to shim it to get the height correct. I'm not sure if Odyssey makes a base for it. I got a shimming base for my 4runner w/ Optima.
TW, here in AZ, most batteries last 1.5 yrs. My Optima blue top (used mostly as a starter battery in my 4runner) lasted 3 summers, OEM made-in-Japan honda battery (Yuasa) lasted 3 summers, OEM LX battery (Panasonic) is on its 4th summer already, still going strong. So the Optima lasted no longer than a quality Japanese battery. When it's time, I plan to get the Odyssey pc1700 for the LX unless someone starts making a custom tray for dual pc1200's.

the battery in my lx lasted from december first 99 when it was made till early september of 05. the only reason it died I found out was while I was on vacation my strobe power supply had a drain on it for three weeks. icould have just recharged it and gotten a few more months out of it but with winter coming I didn't want it to not start one cold winter day after school.
I ended up just getting another lexus batery which seems to hold up to my strobes/hids/JL Audio-Kenwood sound system.
for anybody that has a custom battery setup in their LX, can you post a picture for me?
