LexuDon Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 The battery in my 2002 SC430 died. Can someone tell me where to get an "exact" replacement for the original Panasonic 56618 that came new in the car? Thanks, LexuDon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, LexuDon ← When you say exact, do you mean the exact size or the exact O.E. battery with screw caps and everything?? The battery that comes with the SC430 is made in Japan. No U.S. battery manufacturer makes this style battery and I doubt they import them either. Even the Lexus dealer purchases their batteries from a U.S. supplier. If you just want the right battery, it is a Group 91 battery. I know Interstate brand (most likely made by JCI) carrries a Group 91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried one from AutoZone and it is too short and not long enough so it can slide around. Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All autoparts stores should be able to look up the correct size battery that will fit your vehicle. I've gone to SEARS for my batteries. Stay away from Pep Boys brand "ProLine" stuff. Their products always tend to break sooner than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
