Dead 12V battery - just replaced by dealer

It could be damaged from going so low, but at least the battery is under warranty. See if it takes a charge, and if not, then you'll need to jump start it according to the owner's manual using the jump start connection under the hood.

 

If It is a Toyota True Start battery, it should have a 84 month prorated warranty with full warranty for 24 months.

 

The battery should take a charge as long as it hasn't been dead for an extended period of time. I would put it on a small battery charger and walk away from it for maybe a day and see what it does.

 

Don't have the car towed. Just pull out the battery and take to a shop. They can charge it and tell you if it is bad. Have your receipt indicating date of purchase in case it is bad and they will prorate the cost of a replacement based on the warranty.

 

Even if it revives, it has been permanently damaged, and it's longevity is limited. See if you can get it replaced.
