The Lexus parts web site doesn’t even list it but the information _should_ be printed on the battery itself. [https://parts.lexus.com/](https://parts.lexus.com/) ---

If this is really 2020 you should have some battery warranty left. That is not part of your Lexus warranty . It is separate just like the tires . Also being a Hybrid just play safe and let the dealer put the correct battery in and also check to see if it failed because of another problem. ---

The auxiliary battery is an AGM battery, group size LN2. The factory battery is covered by the basic new vehicle warranty for 4 years/50,000 miles, there is no separate warranty for the original equipment battery. ---

The AGM battery sold at Toyota dealers is easily 2-3 times the cost of the same aftermarket battery. Not rocket science here. I’m not sure who the OEM battery maker is for Toyota these days. But I surely wouldn’t buy one from the dealer. ---

Does this battery has special venting requirements? Or is it in the engine compartment? ---

Ok, that one has special venting requirements. Make you get the correct replacement, if you don’t go to the dealer. But it should be a warranty item. ---

Are you having battery trouble ? Is there not a label on the battery ? If you are not comfortable changing the battery then use your dealer . Also why take a chance that a place might cause some damage to this expensive vehicle that is still under warranty ?
