24 months old and the battery is toast

Went to the store the other day and it was a sluggish start, but restarted and it was fine. Same thing when I left after about an hour in the store... a couple of hours later and it was totally dead. Took a full charge, then got one good start and dead again. That's pretty weak of Toyota (no pun intended)

 

Common problem,
Toyota says "this is normal ".

 

I put an AGM in the first week. I dont waste time with liquid acid batteries.

 

I worked for Honda and Toyota... factory batteries are trash. The faster mine goes out the faster I get a heavy duty one with insane cold crank.

 

did it leak too? and start the corrosion process of the battery hold down hardware?

Totally normal, for Toyota standards of today.

 

Stock Toyota Battery is hot garbage

 

yep, dealt with this myself a few times now...

Call your dealership, still in the 3 years, they have been replacing them.

 

like anything, some times you get a bad one. sometimes the environment you live hurts it. sometimes your usage hurts it

got almost 10 years out my factory one. waiting 9 months for a frame finally did it in.
current toyota replacement battery is 4.5 years old.

 

My '16 battery was just replaced this year.

 

My '16 battery was only replaced this year.

 

*knock on wood*
My 17 (late 16 build year) is still going.

 

All automotive factory batteries are trash

 

that’s amazing, mine is still kicking but I have a 19.

I don’t know what it is but some factory batteries died like crazy and others were flawless.
I saw many die though.

 

Same here. Build date 9/16 and still going but only got 20k on it.

 

Age typically matters more than mileage.

 

My battery went through hot ass Florida summers

 

same thing happened with my 2019 sequoia. one day that badboy just didnt start. battery dead out of the blue, everything else working as intended; bone stock too. bought a new optima and when i brought the sequoia in for its scheduled maintenance toyota went ahead and refunded me for the batt.

 

Just had mine replaced by dealer 30 months old. Covered by warranty.

 

I live in Illinois, after a few cold months the batteries would be toast.
