I did this accidentally and my car never stops at traffic. After 3 years the original battery died and I had to replace. I replaced with an after market battery that matches the ratings but not from Toyota dealer. Ooops all works fine except the auto start stop. it says \"incompatible battery\" but never shuts off at traffic signals.
Paid $350 US recently for a 12 volt for a 2018. Yep, I know that's a lot, but I was at the dealership getting routine maintenance done and it tested borderline. Knew this to be true and was carrying a jumppack. However, it's with a lifetime warranty. That sold me.
I bought a Toyota Truestart for $224 USD with taxes. Swapped it in the dealer parking lot in about 5 minutes, took the old one back in for the core charge.
My toyota battery from 2013 lasted 12 years. I hope my 2025 Hyundai battery can come close.
Batteria cambiata nel 2024 avevo ancora l'originale Toyota che m'è durata 15anni.
As someone who bought their first Prius V (Lithium Ion- Australian Model) in 2013 No issues with any degradation in battery from 12 years ago.
After 16 years and 140k miles, our Prius battery is still going strong.
I had a 2004 Scion xb back in the day that was made in Japan. Had to get rid of it after the engine developed excessive oil consumption. Had a hell of a battery in it. Panasonic brand.
Had the same problem today... Battery died (ok, a few cold days in Belgium , nights up to -5°C) and assistance for jumpstarting it was necessary, luckily I had autoclub membership. Car is only 30 months old. We drive it multiple times a week for shopping and trips to the seaside. Checked the car in to the Toyota garage and test of the battery was negative, battery was dead. I was very pleased they replaced the battery with a new one under warranty!
It was a P.O.S. Panasonic battery that is known to die prematurely. Only had 28k miles on the car when it died and had to get it replaced.
