Some Lexus RX450h owners report experiencing battery failure issues, which can lead to difficulties in starting the vehicle even after jump-starting. These problems often arise when the battery goes flat after two to three weeks of inactivity, a particular inconvenience for hybrid cars since their batteries cannot be jump-started like traditional ones. Additionally, some owners have noted that battery drain can damage the circuits in the hybrid system, necessitating trickle charging to avoid further complications. To mitigate poor battery performance, which can decrease fuel efficiency and electric power output, owners emphasize the importance of routine battery inspections and maintenance. Staying vigilant about battery health is crucial for RX450h owners to prevent recurring starting issues.
