Battery dying

I imagine there's differences between hybrid and non hybrid Tacoma battery requirements.

 

Didn’t see it in the PDF

 

Checked my 2025 SR5, non-hybrid. The factory battery part is #380LN3-MF

This Tacoma battery looks like it's an LN3. LN3 is supposedly the same as an H6 battery.

Here's a pic of what's in mine.

 

Same info here, no type specified.

 

Well verdict is in. They tested it. Said the battery was fine it just needs a charge. They said I would need to bring it back because they need the truck a minimum of three hours.

I may just go buy an aftermarket one.

Just wish I knew for sure it was a 24F.

 

IMHO that's a bullsh!t answer - a regularly driven vehicle should maintain the battery charge.

If it's not already labelled on the battery, measure it.

high failure point lately on batteries but getting a new oem battery would be the better option...
especially if they cover-it...
Common for a cell or 2 to die-off.

 

Size did not match any of those exactly. When I put in the part# into google I get this. Part# 395LN4-MF

The 395LN4-MF is a battery commonly found in the non-hybrid 2024 Toyota Tacoma. It is a 12V battery with an 80 Ah capacity and a 689 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating. The "MF" in the model number stands for "Maintenance-Free," indicating it's a sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery.
Here's a breakdown of the specifications:

• Voltage: 12V.
• Capacity: 80 Ah (Ampere-hours).
• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 689.
• Maintenance-Free: The battery is sealed and does not require refilling with liquid.
• Size: It's not a standard or typical battery size, but some users suggest it may be similar to a Group 49 or Group 48, .
• Compatibility: It's specifically designed for the non-hybrid 2024 Toyota Tacoma.

 

Have you charged the battery at a slow rate since this thread started?

 

Okay, that helps. Via bing the LN4 that maps to 94R.

See if it matches the 12.4" x 6.9" x 7.5" stated dimensions for a 94R. Also here.

 

I have not. I do not have anything other than a trickle charger. The dealer said they can charge it but it will take 3+ hours to do so.

 

Pretty darn close. Without pulling it out to get exact it is 12.25 x 7 x 7.5 (bottom of battery to top of the post which is basically top of the battery.)

 

I have two. One that I inherited that is at least 50 years old and still works great. I can’t imagine not having one. They come in handy.

 

NVM I found my old battery charger. She is charging now. We will see how it goes.

That is definitely what is says on the Toyota website (for year, make and model) but my battery is definitely not a standard size 24F based on the doc posted above.

 

Posted it to a different battery thread, but here's what came in my hybrid. So pretty sure you'd be safe.



The Clarios 380LN3-MF is a maintenance-free, 12V lead-acid battery commonly used in vehicles. It is also known as H6 or DIN66, and is often found as a replacement for the 380LN3-ISS (likely meaning Intelligent Start-Stop) in vehicles with start-stop technology. These batteries are designed to be sealed and require no maintenance like adding water.
Key Features and Specifications:

Voltage: 12V
Type: AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) (a type of VRLA or Sealed Lead Acid battery)
Maintenance-Free (MF): No need to add water or maintain electrolyte levels.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): Typically higher than traditional batteries, providing strong starting power in cold weather.
Capacity: Often rated around 70Ah (Amp-hours) at a 20-hour rate.
Reserve Capacity: Usually around 120 minutes.
Size: Fits the H6 or LN3 battery box.
Terminal Type: M8

Its dimensions are 278 x 175 x 190 x 190mm. It's a direct replacement for the LN3 battery size.

Interstate Battery says it's an H7/94R size

This is mine. Different part #. 24 TRD Sport non hybrid.

 

That's just the version they put in the non -hybrids that has a little higher CCA and Ah, since you don't have the hybrid system to assist the startup.

While the 2024+ Tacoma isn't on the list, we know it shares it's setup with the 2022+ Tundra.


I can't really seem to locate the 2024 version of the below doc.

Page 601 in the manual just says this (apparently 3 different batteries are used in the 4G Tacoma)

 

Same battery as my non-hybrid SR5.
