2019 Lexus NX 300h Battery Price

Understanding battery price for a 2019 Lexus NX 300h means looking beyond a single sticker number. A hybrid vehicle operates with two distinct battery systems—the 12V auxiliary battery that supports electronics and the high-voltage traction battery that provides electric assist and regenerative storage—so costs vary by the component in need of service. At Nalley Lexus Smyrna, we focus on total cost of ownership: while the upfront cost of an OEM hybrid traction battery is higher than a conventional 12V unit, the factory-engineered pack delivers predictable life, better efficiency and fewer unexpected visits. That translates into lower long-term expense because our parts are matched to the vehicle’s electrical architecture and managed by factory-trained technicians who complete precise diagnostics, installation and software calibration. We also provide transparent pricing, explain immediate savings from correct installation, and show how avoiding inferior parts reduces repeat repairs. When a battery issue is covered by warranty, repairs performed at a certified dealership are required to keep that coverage valid—another essential way we protect your wallet over time.

2019 Lexus NX 300h Battery Replacement

Replacing a battery in your 2019 Lexus NX 300h is a technical procedure that benefits from OEM tools, dealer-level diagnostics and factory-trained technicians.

2019 Lexus NX 300h Battery Type

The 2019 Lexus NX 300h employs both a high-voltage hybrid traction battery for electric propulsion and a conventional 12V auxiliary battery for vehicle electronics. The exact chemistry of the traction pack—commonly nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) or lithium-ion depending on production specs—determines its performance profile and lifecycle expectations, while the 12V battery may use conventional lead-acid or AGM construction based on OEM configuration. Identifying the correct battery type requires VIN verification and on-vehicle inspection, which we perform at Nalley Lexus Smyrna to ensure the correct part is selected. Using the OEM-specified type ensures proper thermal and electrical behavior under the vehicle’s hybrid charging patterns and climate conditions. Choosing the right chemistry and proper installation method preserves the hybrid system’s energy management and protects critical systems like HVAC and safety electronics.
