What type of battery is in the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid?

  • Two battery systems: the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid uses a high‑voltage hybrid battery pack for propulsion and a conventional 12‑volt auxiliary battery for electronics and safety systems.
  • Hybrid pack chemistry: Toyota commonly uses nickel‑metal hydride (NiMH) chemistry for the high‑voltage pack in many 2014 hybrid models—this chemistry is robust for hybrid duty cycles.
  • 12‑volt battery: the auxiliary battery is typically a lead‑acid type designed to OEM specifications for reliable starting and accessory power.
  • OEM verification: Coggin Toyota at the Avenues verifies exact battery specifications for each vehicle and installs genuine parts, delivering the performance and longevity intended by Toyota engineers.
  • Warranty and service: if a battery issue is under warranty, repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and proper diagnostics.

What size battery is in the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid?

  • High‑voltage pack: the hybrid traction battery is specified by voltage and module configuration rather than a conventional group size; exact pack details are verified by our parts department.
  • 12‑volt auxiliary size: 12‑volt group size can vary by production options and market—our service team confirms the exact OEM group size for your vehicle before replacement.
  • Verified fitment: Coggin Toyota at the Avenues ensures the correct OEM battery size is installed to maintain electrical performance, charging behavior, and warranty requirements.
  • Why verification matters: incorrect sizing or non‑OEM batteries can cause charging faults, electrical issues, or premature wear—our technicians avoid those risks by using Toyota‑specified batteries and procedures.
  • Convenient support: bring your 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid to our service center or contact us online and we will confirm the precise battery specifications and provide a clear, competitive estimate.

2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Battery Price

Understanding price for battery service on a 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid requires distinguishing between the 12‑volt auxiliary battery and the high‑voltage hybrid pack. The auxiliary battery is a comparatively low-cost, quick replacement that restores accessory power and starting reliability. In contrast, the hybrid traction battery is a major component that represents a bigger investment when replacement is necessary. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues we emphasize total cost of ownership: while an up‑front parts or labor price is important, selecting OEM parts and factory-trained installation often lowers your long‑term expenses by reducing the risk of repeat repairs, preserving fuel efficiency, and maintaining vehicle value. Our dealership frequently offers competitive pricing that can cost less than independent shops once you factor in diagnostic accuracy, correct fitment and warranty protection. We provide transparent, written estimates and explain available options—including new OEM packs, manufacturer remanufactured units, and certified repairs—so you can make an informed choice. Financing and service specials are available to ease immediate outlay while protecting your Highlander Hybrid’s performance and reliability for years to come.

2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Battery Replacement

A proper battery replacement for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is more than a parts swap. It begins with a full diagnostic evaluation to determine whether the issue is the 12‑volt battery, a failing hybrid module, wiring, or charging system irregularities. Our technicians use Toyota’s diagnostic tools and procedures to isolate the root cause and provide a recommended repair plan. For the auxiliary battery, we verify group size and charge acceptance, test parasitic drains, and complete a safe, clean installation. For hybrid battery work, the process includes high‑voltage safety protocols, module testing, pack replacement or module repair, cooling system inspection, and post‑service calibration to reset the hybrid control systems. Conducting this work at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues ensures the highest standards of safety and accuracy; our factory-trained staff carry the expertise to maintain warranty eligibility and optimize system performance. Choosing dealership service reduces the chance of recurring issues, delivers documented service history for resale, and gives you confidence that the Highlander Hybrid will continue to meet the demanding expectations of hybrid driving.

2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Battery Type

The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid employs a dual-battery approach: a high‑voltage traction battery that supplies energy for electric propulsion and regenerative braking, and a conventional 12‑volt battery that powers accessories and vehicle electronics. Toyota commonly specifies a nickel‑metal hydride (NiMH) chemistry for the traction pack on many vehicles of this era, chosen for balanced durability and cost‑effective energy density. The auxiliary 12‑volt battery is typically a lead‑acid type sized to Toyota’s OEM standards. Each battery serves a distinct role in the vehicle’s electrical architecture, and both must be maintained to factory specifications to ensure peak performance. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues, we only use batteries that meet Toyota’s engineering requirements and install them following manufacturer procedures. That adherence to OEM type and process helps avoid charging conflicts, control‑module faults and unexpected failures. If you’re unsure which battery your Highlander Hybrid has, bring it to our service center for a complimentary inspection and precise identification.

2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Battery Size

Battery ā€œsizeā€ for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid can refer to different specifications depending on which battery you mean. The hybrid traction battery is defined by module count, voltage and capacity rather than a conventional group size; this information is model‑specific and verified by our parts specialists. The 12‑volt auxiliary battery does have a physical group size and cold cranking/starting rating; the exact group designation may vary by production date and installed options. Installing the correct OEM size is critical: an improper 12‑volt battery can lead to poor cranking, erratic electronics, and charging system stress. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues we confirm exact fitment from Toyota’s parts database before installation, ensuring correct hold‑down, terminal position and electrical ratings. That ensures predictable system behavior, reduces installation time, and helps preserve warranty coverage and long‑term reliability for your Highlander Hybrid.

2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Battery Warranty

Warranty coverage for batteries on a 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid depends on the component and the vehicle’s warranty status. Hybrid traction batteries are often covered by specific hybrid or emissions warranties for a defined period or mileage in many markets; 12‑volt batteries may have shorter retailer or manufacturer warranties. If a repair or replacement is covered by warranty, it must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure correct documentation. Choosing Coggin Toyota at the Avenues gives you factory-backed service, OEM parts and thorough record-keeping that protect warranty eligibility and support future claims if necessary. Even when a battery replacement is outside warranty, dealership service typically offers better long‑term value: our technicians verify root causes, reinstall systems to OEM calibration, and provide a written warranty on parts and labor. This combination of certified expertise, genuine parts and warranty support delivers both immediate peace of mind and measurable savings over the life of your 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
