My dealership changed both batteries when the car passed its first birthday earlier this month. Just charged me for the batteries ($2.70) nothing else. I'd rather have them do the change than try it myself and break something like I did in a previous car.

I just bought 5 of them on amazon for less than 6 dollars. Easy to open up and change.

Yes, Amazon has them for a better price than in stores. And I think RXSF meant less than $6, not $60.

My used RX350 did the same thing before i picked it up. The dealer changed the battery cuz it was pretty much dead. Its perfectly fine now.
