Fantastic guide video, am about to move the internals of my RX400H battery from one rusted lower case to a replacement lower case. This is exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much for posting!
At 1:39 you can see that the black rubber piece that can be seen dangling outside of the battery module when the lid is on is connect to the old battery modules. It also shows at the 9:01 and 15:32 mark of your removable and reinstalltion video. When you finish assembling the new battery modules it doesnt look like that black rubber L shaped piece was hooked back up. I remember reinstalling the battery module into the car and wonder what it was at and why was it left over. Theres definetly a cutout for it in the battery case. The reason I ask its because 4k miles after swapping to the new battery modules my 450h died on me on the interstate. There was smoke in the back coming from the battery area. It smelt to me like an engine that doesnt have any oil. All the hybird warning and failure lights came on and the car will no longer start. It flashes ready twice and goes away. My error codes are P0A7A and P0A94. How important is that black rubber boot, it looks like it vents the battery somewhere when hooked into the car. Would this lead to overheating?
hi guys thanks for your nice video . i am canada , i need to rebuild my hybrid battery for Lexus rx400h year 2006 . do you know where can i buy that 3 mogul ( 3 part inside battery )?
Are you looking for the rebuild kit? I have 1 in stock until my next order arrives. Supply chain has been difficult and NiMH pricing has increased from the manufacturer.
Hi. I am from Dubai. I am having some issue on my Lexus RX450H car 2013 model. I am getting some warning message on my dashboard like check hybrid system, check brake system, PCS etc. What could be the reason for this issue? Also I would like to know the price of Lexus RX450H hybrid battery 2013 model. Regional Specification- GCC
Sounds like the battery is failing or the ECU is experiencing water damage if water is making it into the vehicle. I would have diagnostics done on the vehicle to see which DTC is present. That battery is $3450 before shipping.
I have a 2010 Lexus RX450h about 200,000 miles. My gas mileage is horrible, I get 20mpg. No errors as far as hybrid battery is concerned. Is this because the hybrid battery is old and needs to be replaced or could it be some other issue?
It is normal on RX450h even when it is new to get about 20mpg. it is a heavy SUV 20-30mpg is normal. don't touch things that are not broken. you need to check on your own when you drive on empty roads. That will tell you more accurate mpg reading. either on interstate or somewhere with constant 50-70mph speed. The hybrid battery failure is not gradual. It is out of sudden one of the cell died. Over 10-15 years period it will be 95% of the original capacity and sudenly drop. just drop with triagle and check engine lights. As long as you do not have it, just drive and enjoy the smooth ride.
not sure what you mean by kills it quickly...? These batteries are constantly being maintained by the car, either charging or discharging. If its low on power, the gas engine will charge it. If there is a fault the codes will pop up with the check hybrid system.
Hi in From Germany , my rx450h has 240k+ km , and i get 2 times in a week the fault Code P0a80 Change battery pack. So i unterstand the battery is completly on the way to die ?
Yes, based on time and Km range, your battery needs to be replaced. We can ship you a rebuild kit from the manufacturer, maybe 3-4 weeks to arrive. $3650 is my price.
I have 2006 RX400H that I just received notification that it's should be replaced. If I take it out and send them too you, how much will you charged to clean it.
One other question. Do hybrid batteries require recharging before being used? I was told that the battery pack in my 2011 Chevy Silverado (which is dead, reading millivolts only) would need to be recharged before the vehicle would start. My display is showing "Service Hybrid System" and the truck will not turn over, even though the 12 volt battery under the hood is fully charged.
When I see Silverados that wont crank with low voltage codes, replacing the battery solves the issue 9 out of 10 times. I bet the ECU is arched out, I've only found them new for like $650. I just did a Tahoe that needed the ECU and the rebuild kit. You would have to charge the Silverado modules individually with a hobby charger if you don't own a cell by cell charger designed for 240 cells.
I'm curious how you identify the negative wires from the positive. In the video I don't see any markings on them, and they are all orange. Is there a label on each?
The bus bars are normally not corroded in this vehicle's battery for some reason they are always perfect when I open them up. I would think it has more to do with module failure or possibly water damage to the relay box from water getting into the cabin.
Yes we do, I have to special order the RX450 battery straight from the manufacturer. It takes 3 weeks to your door. Most of the time they manufacturer these batteries by order. Call me at 8437442020 for more details, ask for Cory.
We give a 4 year warranty, I have vehicles already coming out of warranty and I have not had any warranties. I expect these modules to last as long as the original modules, if not longer.
@Palmetto Battery Pros my car is on after changing BECM when i turn it off it no longer start again unless when I turn on I hear the relay clicking and ready light is clicking, I checked with diagnosis mashine i didn't get any fault in hybrid system i need your my friend

Thank you for the acknowledgement
Appreciate the guide just finished mine installing it tmrw 🙏
Awesome, it’s a fun project. Good luck with it.

How important is that black rubber boot, it looks like it vents the battery somewhere when hooked into the car. Would this lead to overheating?
It’s a vent tube for the OEM modules. Both of your codes are pointing to inverter failure.
hi guys
thanks for your nice video .

Hi my truck is Lexus rx400 h is 2006 , I don't know is same as rx450 h or not?
How much is that cost?
Nice upload. Do you know if the 2010 model comes with filters for the battery cooling fans?
Just the vents under the seat
Opening your Palmetto Battery Prod site active link you provided gives 494 error, page can’t be opened?
How much does it cost?

How much is the rebuild battery for 2011 rx 450? I am in NYC. Can’t find any one local who does this. I’ll have to order and have it installed.
I have that battery for $3K shipped to your door and they will be available again in 3-4 weeks tops.
What do you do when the vehicle kills the new battery quickly ? How do you find the issue I'd codes don't come up?
Dead 08 HHy (3 batteries)

Do you know how they are numbered? I need to find the number 13

Hey! tell me, did you use new battery modules to replace, or not?
Yes, you can see that in the video.
Those batteries aren't the same as the original based on physical design and looks. Are they of the same chemistry?
These are Ni-Mh D cells, same chemistry and specs as prismatic modules.
I have a 2011 RX45oh that has a permanent battery failure code. How much to DIY replacement battery?
I have these kits available for $3,850 plus $150 shipping to your door.
I'm curious how you identify the negative wires from the positive. In the video I don't see any markings on them, and they are all orange. Is there a label on each?
Orange indicates High Voltage. I normally check to see which module end the wire is coming from.
Can we only just clean the battery bus bar on the original battery and extend their life time?
The bus bars are normally not corroded in this vehicle's battery for some reason they are always perfect when I open them up. I would think it has more to do with module failure or possibly water damage to the relay box from water getting into the cabin.
Hi do you ship these rebuild batteries kit to any states I'm interested in buying this kit
Yes we do, I have to special order the RX450 battery straight from the manufacturer. It takes 3 weeks to your door. Most of the time they manufacturer these batteries by order.
Call me at 8437442020 for more details, ask for Cory.
what is your source for battery kit
We are an authorized national dealer. How can we help?
Nice guide but I wouldn't call it a rebuild. More like an Upgrade or Replacement of battery pack.
I like it, I’m not keen on Rebuild either.
how long will they last?
We give a 4 year warranty, I have vehicles already coming out of warranty and I have not had any warranties. I expect these modules to last as long as the original modules, if not longer.
Is that battery reliable as the original panasonic ? I don’t think so
I have had great success installing these batteries for over 4 years now.
Hi
Whats the valtage shud be on them?
Voltage on the individual modules, module packs or total pack voltage?
@@PalmettoBatteryPros hole pack thanks
I want to rebuild my battery
I believe you meant to say electrical tape
Probably, it’s hard to film, talk and do these jobs
Hello
Can you help me i get this code P0B5B on my lexus rx 450h model 2010
It could be the BECM(ecu) or just the battery modules coming out of balance. Battery replacement is recommended
@@PalmettoBatteryPros thanks
@Palmetto Battery Pros my car is on after changing BECM when i turn it off it no longer start again unless when I turn on I hear the relay clicking and ready light is clicking, I checked with diagnosis mashine i didn't get any fault in hybrid system i need your my friend
The trouble code P0B5B can be explained as Hybrid Battery Voltage Sense "G" Circuit Low.
