- A video outlining the strip down and refit of the replacement hybrid battery for my 2014 Lexus IS300h.
The car has covered 181,000 miles in 7 years. 15 years worth of use @ 12,000 mile per year in half the time. We believe that the mileage was the reason for the battery failing, it has literally worn out.
Thanks to Lexus Exeter for supplying the battery and also allowing me to return to remove items that I had left on the old unit that needed transferring..
Apologies for the heavy breathing, it was the coldest night of the year, not an ideal time to be stripping the old unit out
thank you dude, it helped me a lot ! My 2014' IS just passed the 400k km with the original battery, and i just found a battery from a 120k km wrecked IS not so far. I hope it works as well as mine used to. The symptoms that decided me to replace the battery pack on my IS are that this year, recently, as soon as temperatures went under 0, i had twice a day the "hybrid system failure" error message with the code P0A7F and P0A80. When I start (at a traffic light for example), the vehicle takes time to launch, as if the accelerator no longer gave control to the engine. This symptom appeared a few times when I used ethanol (in the summer) in the past. Once the hybrid computer has been reset, operation returns to normal. This winter, the symptom occurs almost continuously. So I decided to replace my battery pack. If the new battery pack does not work well, i will try to refurb and upgrade my old battery pack with lithium cells... 🤖
Fantastic work,great instruction and attention to detail! Thank you!
To add to the disclaimer: It may not be wise for an average guy with a 2-car garage to do a HV battery procedure. This man knows what he is doing well. There are literally separate certifications for mechanics working on HV components for safety of both the mechanic and subsequently the occupants and those around the vehicle.
Great video, nicely detailed!
Great, great, great job... thanks a lot, I wonder if Lexus Germany sells the battery like in UK... keep them coming 👍🏻👏🏻
I have a problem with my IS300 Lexus
Merci pour le travail et le partage !
Bought this car a month ago, running great until now, what else can you tell me about it thanks
Brilliant video ….. the million dollar question is …… how much was the replacement battery and was it purchased on an exchange basis? Do every dealer offer this or did you need to find one that did? Thanks again for the very professional video and explanation of everything 👍
Спасибо, полезный опыт👍
Great Video, thanks
Hi think my one has failed at 149,000. My is300h that I use as a taxi still runs but only on petrol with engine management light on & message telling me to stop vehicle & Hybrid system Failure. Lexus want to charge me £155 to tell me what's wrong with it but reluctant to go. Does this sound like the Hybrid Battery to you?
Great video. Thanks. I have IS300H 2014 and done 95000 miles . Altough the hybrid test passed ok recently , since last year mpg is between 34 to 38 (before was around 45 to 48) .Now ,with full battery driving in EV mode is not possible more than half a mile.On board display goes from full to empty in 5 min or less . How long can you drive at low speed in EV mode with this new battery ? Is my battery close to dying ? I would much appreciate any opinions .Thanks
thanks for the great video. what mpg were you getting before it failed? What was your average mpg after the new battery? did start to get close to 50mpg on new? i get 43mpg on mixed driving on a 2017 f sport new facelift model
Do you provide this as a service to others?
Excellent instructions. As everyone wants to know, why did the battery die after 7 years? How long are they suppose to last? I'd hate to imagine what this would cost if getting it done in the dealers. You were very lucky that you were able to go back and recover the missing parts from the old battery before the dealer disposed of it. Well done for attempting it yourself.
Hi . Where exactly are you based? I need to change the battery on my is300 . Do you have a garage? Regards
I wonder if you can swat the batteries from an auris 2012 with a new models ones 2020 Corolla let's say.
Thank you for the highly detailed video! How did you know the battery was dead - was there a message on the computer?
Hi, what was the reason to change the battery? are they so bad at a car from 2014?
