Landcruiser Battery - Single - Which One Should It Be?

February 15, 2008

:help: I've got a Landcruiser 3.0 TD which is an import. This model has only 1 Battery.

Recently, I asked Toyota for a new one and the dealer got me a Battery according to chassis number.

BUT this Battery doesn't seem powerful enough!! When I switch on the radio, there is a pause and drop in engine idle speed before the radio comes on, the lights dim and it just doesn't seem to have that oomph... :unsure: :angry:

Dealer insists the battery is correct and according to chassis number provided but I just don't see why it doesn't seem powerful enough to manage all that's demanded of it.

Can anyone tell me what Amp rating these batteries should be??

Sounds more like your alternator is not kicking out enough power, I don't know what Battery it should be but it will need to be a large one to turn it over.
