Lexus RX Battery
The front-wheel-drive 3.5 CVT hybrid uses a metal hydride battery to support its gasoline engine. It recovers energy during braking and requires no routine plug-in charging. Battery capacity alone cannot tell you how a used hybrid will perform; battery condition and service history deserve attention when you assess one.
