Hybrid cars such as Lexus have dual engine, the one which is powered by electric motors and gas powered engines, both these rely on batteries. The batteries that you require are manufactured the same process as is used in the manufacturing of conventional batteries and the functions are almost similar. The only notable difference is that the hybrid car batteries are larger in size, this is due to large amount of power required to run the car, the size of electric car batteries are even bigger as hybrid car can run on both electric power and gasoline.

The internal manufacturing material used in S46B24R battery is different than the conventional batteries. Hybrid car batteries come in a pack of different modules and each module contains a row of cells. In the 2009 model of Toyota Prius, a 201.6-V battery pack is used and has 28 modules. Each module is encased in stainless steel coating 6 cells and entire pack has 168 cells, the battery voltage is inverted to alternate current for the 650-VAC electric motor.

Any case of any malfunctioning means that the module has some defect; the same can be rebuilt by replacing the module. In any car a 12-V lead acid battery powers the starter motor, the light, the ignition system and other accessories.

I appreciate your giving me a supplier for Lexus batteries. Specifically I need an S46B24R battery for a Lexus unit CT200h. Your reply is highly appreciated. Best regards.

The prices charged are just ridiculous, with the cost of brake pads being one of my favourite gripes. Once your fancy vehicle is out of motorplan the agents will kill you with the cost of spares and labour.

It is gratifying to come across solutions like this for technology which is actually far simpler than the internal combustion engine in its current hi-tech guise. People considering purchasing a second hand Prius can leverage the cost of a replacement battery pack against the purchase price,and then go the DIY route, which translates to a serious discount!
