The Toyota battery warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The battery falls under the basic bumper-to-bumper warranty, so if you’re within this time frame, your battery is covered. A battery in a new car is supposed to last at least four to five years, so your battery definitely has some sort of issue that’s not due to normal wear and tear. If your claim is denied for any reason, a new battery costs between $150 and $300.
If you’re talking about a hybrid battery, you get even more coverage. However, the timeframe and mileage vary by the model year:
Any model 2020 or newer has a 10-year, 150,000-mile hybrid battery warranty.
Any model 2019 or older has an 8-year, 100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty.
Replacing a hybrid battery is far more expensive than a regular one, often costing between $1,500 for a refurbished battery or up to $4,000 for a new one.
If you need some cash to replace the battery, shop around for better-priced car insurance
