$2,500-$3,500
The bids for used units on eBay range from $2,800 for the RX 400h battery that comes from a vehicle with 49,000 miles on it to $2,875 for the RX 450h with 48,214 miles on it. The RX 400h doesn’t come with a warranty but the RX 450h comes with a 90-day one. 1 With installation charges, taxes and recycling/core fees (which vary by state), the total cost for a replacement car battery can be $60-$300 or more. 2  For example, from 2010 to 2012, CostHelper readers reported paying $52-$130 for a car battery with do-it-yourself installation, at an average cost of $86. I'm almost ready to buy or lease a GS 450h. I know that the battery is warrantied for 8 years/100,000 miles. And, I have been told that the approximate cost with labor to replace the batteries (after 8 years or 100,00 miles) is $6,000. I'm not getting a straight answer on the estimated life cycle of the batteries. Whereas hybrid battery replacement in your Lexus hybrid can cost upwards of $6,000 (garnering you a guaranteed genuine hybrid battery), maintenance, also called battery conditioning, by The Hybrid Shop generally costs less than a third of replacement. But, Lexus claims the hybrid battery will last the life of the car and provides an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty to the owners. The cost of replacing the battery can run in the $2,500-$3,500 range, which includes installation. As hybrid batteries age, it’s more common for cells to need replacing than for the entire battery to die, according to Lexus as reported in Bloomberg Businessweek. Well the dealer wanted $250 for an oem battery and offered a 1 year warranty. I said thanks but no thanks, and went to a popular auto parts store in my neck of the woods and spent $120 for a battery that came with a 3 year replacement warranty (with an additional 6 years prorated warranty). I am looking into buying a pre-certified Lexus 2007 RX400h SUV with about 29k miles. I know the battery warranty is far from being expired, but would still like to know how much a replacement battery would cost. On the internet, I'm only find costs of about $3k, but that was in 2008. Our 6 mos old 2007 Lexus RX400h has apparently experienced a hybrid battery failure. I'm told that this is an $8000 part and we are the first in-warranty hybrid battery failure that Toyota/Lexus has experienced. Replacing, Conditioning and Rebuilding RX 400/450h Batteries. The cost of replacing the battery can run in the $2,500-$3,500 range, which includes installation. As hybrid batteries age, it’s more common for cells to need replacing than for the entire battery to die, according to Lexus as reported in Bloomberg Businessweek.
