    My 12v battery isn't holding much charge and this recent cold weather seems to have almost killed it off - requiring a boost charge every 2 or 3 days if I've not driven the car.

    So - as Lexus appear to want £300+ for a new (Panasonic I assume) battery "ah but it has an extra connection that other similar batteries don't have Sir"... can anyone recommend a good replacement that's available at more reasonable cost?

    I'm currently looking at the Bosch S5 AGM range - though a direct size for size replacement doesn't seem to be available (going from Google info, I've yet to measure and properly check specs of the existing OEM one).

    I obviously realise that I'll need to move the temp sensor from old battery to new - but have heard good and bad stories so looking for anyone who's in the UK and has done this with a good result.

    Any help appreciated.

    thanks for your reply,

    I ordered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141929331418?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT this one from eBay which uses techstream software. Haven't received it yet. I will be back here when I test it on hybrid car.

    also wanted standalone one which doesn't require laptop. I may buy the one you have recommended,

    cheers
