How often should you replace the battery?

• Battery replacement intervals depend on usage, environment, and diagnostics rather than a fixed mileage; routine checks let us track state of health and plan replacement before failure.
• Regular inspections during scheduled maintenance allow Nalley Toyota Stonecrest technicians to identify gradual capacity loss, thermal issues, or connectors that need service—preventing unexpected downtime.
• Because the Mirai’s traction battery works with a hydrogen fuel-cell system, proactive monitoring is essential to maintain range and efficiency; following dealer-recommended maintenance schedules helps extend service life.
• When warranty coverage applies, required repairs must be done at a certified dealership; timely service at our dealership preserves warranty benefits and reduces long-term ownership costs.
• We recommend the Mirai receive battery health checks as part of regular service intervals; our team will advise the optimal inspection cadence based on driving patterns and environmental conditions.

What type of battery is in the 2023 Toyota Mirai?

• The 2023 Toyota Mirai uses a high-voltage traction battery that supplements its hydrogen fuel-cell electric powertrain; this battery stores energy to deliver instant torque and to power vehicle systems.
• It is designed specifically to work with the fuel-cell stack and electric motors, offering a different design and purpose than the large-capacity batteries found in battery-electric vehicles.
• Our certified technicians at Nalley Toyota Stonecrest use OEM diagnostics to verify chemistry and condition and to ensure any replacement uses Toyota-specified components for safety and longevity.
• When a battery replacement is necessary, choosing dealership service ensures correct parts, safe handling procedures, and proper integration with the Mirai’s energy management system, leading to better long-term performance.
• Warranty-covered replacements must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; we handle warranty claims and install OEM battery components by factory standards.

What size battery is in the 2023 Toyota Mirai?

• The traction battery in the 2023 Toyota Mirai is a compact, high-voltage unit sized to complement the hydrogen fuel-cell stack; it provides enough stored energy to support driveability and auxiliary systems rather than long pure-electric range like a BEV.
• Capacity is modest compared with full battery-electric vehicles—engineered to be lightweight and optimized for frequent charging from the fuel cell—so physical size and kilowatt-hour rating are tuned to the Mirai’s hybrid fuel-cell architecture.
• Exact capacity can vary by configuration and model year detail; our service team at Nalley Toyota Stonecrest will verify the precise kWh and part number for your vehicle during inspection and provide a clear estimate for replacement if needed.
• A certified dealership replacement ensures the correct OEM battery size, proper mounting, and calibration, which protects vehicle systems and resale value while maximizing safety and performance.
• Remember: warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage—our advisors will document the battery size and warranty status for your records and peace of mind.
