Need a Prado battery replacement? The job’s simple enough: save your radio presets with a memory saver if you care, undo the negative terminal first, then the positive, lift the old lump, drop in the correct group size (many diesels use a big N70‑style unit), then connect positive before negative and clamp it tight.
Expect to pay around AUD $220–$450 for a quality conventional battery, or $350–$700 for AGM/stop‑start, plus $50–$150 if someone fits it for you.
Afterwards, initialise the windows and check idle relearn; if you’ve got dual batteries or accessories, test charge voltage (about 13.8–14.7 V) so you don’t cook the new one.
If spanners aren’t your love language, a mobile auto sparky will swap it curbside while you enjoy a cuppa and pretend you loosened the tight one.
