Fantastic. Not sure how much you saved me but it was a lot. Really, really appreciate the time and effort it takes to do this so old hacks like me can say, “Hey, that doesn’t look so hard!” Well done.
@@amgad2 hi, this video shows how to do it as per the repair manual. Some people use a memory saver that plugs into the OBD2 port to retain all the settings, but the manufacturer doesn’t mention that in their instructions.
When my auxiliary battery died on me, couldn't open the hatch (2019 UX 250h - not the power hatch)! Can you do a video on how to open the hatch using the inside latch, after removing the square plastic cover of the tail gate.
@@amgad2 will do if I ever get a chance in the future. In the meantime, you can reference my video for the RX model, the process is similar. Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/4ac2MRcp0Ng/v-deo.htmlsi=O0WAdXjKvzWug6Df
Thanks Viktor! I heard if you can get the battery reinstalled in under 30 minutes it helps to alleviate most electrical resets. Is that accurate? Also is there a specific battery you would recommend, i.e. O.E.M, CCA, reserve, wet/dry? I see you replied AGM, best or required?
Yes, if you reconnect the new battery quickly there is less chance of things losing their settings. With the battery, I’d stick with OEM. If going aftermarket, get an AGM one.
How long do these batteries last ? Recently purchased a Lexus Fsport 2020 reg . Twice it has left me stranded and have had to call Lexus breakdown (AA) they both tested the battery and they and said it was on its way out . The car is at the dealership they have tested the battery and in there opinion it's fine . Not happy have told them to try a new battery. Still waiting for their decision. Have read that they have a 3 to 5 year life ! Thanks
@@bobatwell7505 hi, the battery’s life can vary significantly depending on the ambient climate conditions and vehicle usage. Some last 3 years, others go over 10 years. On your model there is a technical service bulletin that addresses the battery dying by updating vehicle software. Maybe confirm with your dealership if the software is up to date. ua-cam.com/video/WhfTyw6ABhA/v-deo.htmlsi=rroQyfpVeooh6wiN

Thank you very much for the encouragement, comments like this is what keeps me going!
I had to pay $500 for a shop to replace my battery
@@vickimccoy5202 next time you could do it yourself 😀
Another Great Job Viktor "CHEERS" 👍
Many thanks!!
Any precautions should be taken before disconnecting the battery so that the car computer doesn't get affected?

How often do I have to replace the battery ?
There isn’t a maintenance interval for it. Some last 10+ years, others last less than 5. Replace it when it fails a load test.

Please make a video showing how to manually close a power hatch after removing the 12 volt battery. It took me an hour to figure out.
Sounds good
LOL! That's something I would do!

Brother can you tell me what is the 12v battery specification of Lexus ux250h
I believe it is a group 140R AGM, but you should confirm with your dealership parts department to be 100% sure.
@@Viktor_G_Automotive Thankyou
Thanks Viktor ,the 12V battery on my 2023 lexus ux is not an AGM battery.
@@nevotpatrick9556 thanks!
Keep up the good work
Will do!
Very helpful video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
no problem!
never would've thought the battery;d be at the back
There you go!
It's why the battery last longer, away from the engine heat
