Post subject: ES300 Time to replace battery?

I think it is time to replace the battery in my 2001 ES300. Needed a jump start last night (in the rain... why do battery alway fail in crummy weather?)

I'm planning on going out to buy a battery (Sear?) and put it in myself. I'm not a 'car' guy. So are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of?

Will I need a security code for my stereo? just yank and put in new battery? Simple as that?

Thanks for the help...

if you plan on keeping your far for a long time, get an Odyssey.

And yes, it's a simple swap out. You'll lose your clock time and your
radio presets but that's it.

Diehard batteries are nothing like the old Diehards. If you're going
to get a well known battery, I'd suggest an Interstate.

Die Hards have gone down in quality? Does Interstate make a battery as
big as the big die hard in cranking amps and guarantee? Do they die
earlier than the warranty now? I just replace the battery when the
guarantee goes out. No worry that way.

And while we are on the subject of batteries, how often should I plan
on replacing the battery? Does the LS 430 series generaly give any
warning before the battery goes out? Perhaps some sort of slower
operating seats or doors not closing properly or the car cranking
slowly? I think the brite blue lites on mine are independant of battery
operating conditions to a greater degree than the older standard lites
so I can't rely on them like I used to with regular lites.

This is an important question to me as one of the keys has already
burned out its little battery. Could be because the car was a year old
when I got it, so maybe all the batteries are old and decayed and in
need of replacement.

I don't think you need to put it in yourself. It is pretty simple to do, so
all shops that sell car batteries pretty much put them in the car for free.
