    I assume you are asking about the auxiliary 12v battery. The cheapest I have found is from Walmart, $160 to $180. One of the best is from Toyota , so check price at your local dealership.

    Thanks Brian. Yes I researched it and for a little out about the Smart Key requirement.
    Charged up the old one yesterday and it load tested low but got me through the day.
