I'm looking at a 2006 SC430 at a local used-car dealer.  They provided the CarFax, which shows multiple services described as "Battery/charging system checked", "Battery Checked", and "Battery Replaced" (replaced only once).   It looks like it has a history of electrical problems.  Is this something to worry about?  This link goes to the CarFax report.  Link to Carfax

If the distance driven by that owner were low, I'd suspect that short trips that did not result in sufficient battery charge would be the culprit. In the least, a current draw test should be performed to see if there is still excessive draw on the battery. You can also check to verify that the alternator is adequately charging the battery.
 I wonder why the car was auctioned.
