Needsnewtyres2 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 My 2018 Avalon Hybrid has 122,000 miles and still contains the original 12-volt battery. It is operated on a highly consistent schedule. The initiation button activates it on the first press consistently. Curious about the anticipated duration of its continuation? Will there be any warning indicators, either on the dashboard or during the ignition process, suggesting it is nearing the end of its lifespan? Would you take the initiative to have it replaced or simply allow it to continue until it fails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolguy Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Investigate the replies to my inquiry regarding the instances when individuals have encountered the demise of their 12v batteries. Published in the preceding month. Limited responses, no genuine "fatalities". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy7831 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 To ensure tranquillity, it would be prudent to substitute it regardless; that is my recommendation. Why postpone until the most unfavourable time for it to ultimately cease functioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerendipitySage Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Due to my conviction in PREVENTIVE Maintenance, I seized the opportunity of the Toyota Parts Labour Day sale to purchase a new 12v battery, replacing the original one (which continues to function impeccably) in my TAH manufactured on 4/15. Acquired it yesterday; I merely need to find the time to install it. What should be done with the obsolete one? They did not impose the customary battery core/exchange fee on me.

mrnobady Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Transport the used battery to Auto Zone. They will provide you with $10 in exchange for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerendipitySage Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Is that a policy applicable nationwide for Auto Zone or specific to Ohio? The obligatory "core" fee in New York amounts to $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnobady Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I would take the initiative to substitute it with a new AGM battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
