The original OEM battery was marked as Johnson Controls part number 380LN3-MF (or 28800-0P040).

A few compatible replacement group size 48 or "H6" batteries for the 2018 and 2019 model years with their part numbers include the following: Interstate Batteries MTP-48/H6, Odyssey ODP-AGM48 H6 L3, Bosch S6585B S6 AGM,

Update - If you have a newer 2020, 2021 or 2022 Toyota Camry, the OEM 12V battery group size is H5 (also known as group size 47).

Here are some compatible H5 / 47 batteries for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 model years: Interstate Batteries MTX-47/H5, Bosch S6-47 and Deka 9A47 AGM Intidmidator.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet, a 12mm socket with a long six inch or 9" extension bar and a 3/8" drive ratchet.

The 12 volt car battery is located just behind the engine air filter housing and to the left of the fuse box.

Loosen the nut on the negative terminal (closer to the rear of the engine bay) by turning it in the counterclockwise direction with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Pull the negative terminal off the "-" battery post.

Cover the terminal with a small towel and tuck it away on the left side of the battery to help prevent accidental electrical contact.

Squeeze together the two tabs on the red plastic cover before pulling it straight off the positive terminal.

Pull the positive terminal off the "+" battery post.

Close the red plastic cover over the positive terminal and tuck it away on the side of the battery.

Loosen the single bolt that holds the hold down clamp at the lower front edge of the battery.

Carefully lift the old 12V battery out of the engine bay.

Gently rest the old battery on the ground. Try to avoid dropping or tipping over the old battery to prevent from having acid leak out.

Be sure to bring the old battery with you to the auto parts store or Walmart to prevent from having to pay a "recycling fee", "core" charge or "disposal" fee.

Carefully lower the new battery into the engine bay.

If you can wait a few days for delivery, I recommend buying the Odyssey ODP-AGM48 H6 L3 battery for your 2018 or 2019 Camry since it has excellent reviews on Amazon.

If you have a 2020, 2021 or 2022 Camry, I would choose the Bosch S6-47 battery which seems to have the best reviews.

The positive "+" post should be closer to the front of the engine bay.

The negative "-" post should be closer to the windshield at the rear of the engine bay.

Lower the hold down clamp to the front edge of the battery tray.

Tighten the battery hold down clamp bolt in the clockwise direction with the 12mm socket, extension bar and a 3/8" drive ratchet until it is snug.

Check to see if the new battery can be moved, slid or rocked on the tray. If it can be moved, tighten the hold down clamp bolt an extra turn or two.

If you've had a problem with corrosion (white or blue powder) building up on the terminals or battery posts, consider installing some felt anti-corrosion washers over the battery posts.

Tighten the terminal nut in the clockwise direction with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet until it is snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the terminal nut to prevent from damaging or cracking the battery post which could lead to an acid leak.

Tighten the 10mm terminal nut in the clockwise direction until it is snug.

To test the new 12V battery, start the engine and turn on the headlights.

If you don't drive your car for weeks at a time, I highly recommend using a Battery Tender Junior trickle charger to help keep the battery in good condition. Lead-acid batteries last longer when they are kept fully charged.

Be sure to record the battery change in your vehicle's service records.
