    I have a issue that happened today.
    A few weeks ago I wired some undercarriage lights on my truck. Somehow today in daylight they must have been turned on and I did not know. So running errands stop start several times . Last stop no restart, battery drained. Tow truck jump start , good. Got home turned truck off will not restart. Put on charger for two hours still no start. Wondering if there is a fuse in box not letting it start or is battery just so dead it won’t take a charge,
    Do I replace battery “help”.

    Turn on headlights, if dim very low battery, pretty bright then you have a different issue. Just noticed you have a 19, likely your battery is done!

    Welcome from TX!

    If your battery is fully drained it would take a bit longer than 2 hours to charge it up. If you've gotta jump box with a battery tester on it that would be one way to see if it's still good.

    Your best bet is to throw a charger on it overnight and see what she does in the AM. My OEM battery gave up the ghost after 4 years.

    The majority of Toyota (& others) oem supplied batteries in the last several years are getting replaced in 2-3 years. Not unusual but kind of crappy of Toyota to put in low life or substandard batteries.

    I got an AGM 27F to replace the battery on my 19...I got it at batteries plus and no issue. I had to put the device in the Alt S spot of the fuse box to get charging up to over 14 volts off the alternator and on occasion hook it up to the CTEK charger. Since it is hybrid battery I get a lot out of it because of all the lights and things i'm running. This thread explains how to boost the voltage without much modification. Mine has been running two years with no issue.
