BCI group 24F, rated at 582 cold cranking amps from the factory. Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side. ### How many CCA does a 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander need? At least 582 CCA. Going higher is harmless and helps in cold climates; going lower is how a vehicle that started fine in October stops starting in January. ### Does the 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander need an AGM battery? The factory battery is a conventional flooded type. AGM is a valid upgrade, but never downgrade from AGM to flooded. ### Where is the battery on a 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander? Engine bay, driver side. ### Does a 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander need the battery registered after replacement? 2014-2016 gas models use a flooded Group 24F. 2017-2019 V6 models have stop-start: Toyota's TrueStart chart specifies a 24F EFB (S95 EFB approved alternate per PANT 2021-035), replace with an EFB or AGM, not a plain flooded battery. Hybrids use a cargo-area auxiliary battery (see hybrid engine entries). ## Sources - [Toyota technical data, Highlander XU50 fluids & capacities (toyota-club.net)](https://toyota-club.net/files/techdata/ttx/highlander_50u.htm) - [Toyota OEM parts, 17801-0P090 engine air filter fitment (2017-2019 incl. hybrid)](https://toyota.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/toyota-air-filter-178010p090) - [Toyota Genuine spark plug application chart (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/09_SparkPlugs2022_hi.pdf) - [Toyota TrueStart battery application chart, 24F / 24F EFB stop-start](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/03_Batteries2022_hi.pdf) - [NHTSA recall 20V-682, Denso fuel pump (2017-2019 Highlander)](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=20V682000) - [ToyotaNation, T-SB-0160-18 UA80F transmission TSB discussion](https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/did-toyota-really-fix-the-transmission-issue-for-2019.1722708/) - [O'Reilly How-To, reset maintenance light, 2014-2019 Highlander](https://www.oreillyauto.com/how-to-hub/how-to-reset-the-maintenance-light-in-a-2014-to-2019-toyota-highlander) - [Wheel-Size.com, 2016 Toyota Highlander OE fitments](https://www.wheel-size.com/size/toyota/highlander/2016/) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2016 / 2018 Highlander EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2018_Toyota_Highlander.shtml) ## Other Toyota Highlander generations - [2020-2025 Toyota Highlander battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2020-2025/battery) - [2012-2013 Toyota Highlander battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2012-2013/battery) Or [compare all generations](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/battery). ## More for the 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/oil) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/highlander/2014-2019/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
