Good troubleshooting, I would also check the battery voltage after turning the vehicle off. It should at least be 12.8V, If not, might need to replace the battery anyway even if the alternator is charging it properly. These V6 RAV4's are little pocket rockets @ 270HP. My gf has the same V6 Limited model but year 2011 and it totally puts my 3rd gen 4Runner with the aerodynamics of a brick to shame. lol I wouldn't trade it for anything though, 3rd gen is best gen! :D

The easiest way to test the battery is just use a jump-starter to get the car started and then once the car is running drive the car around for 10 minutes. This should be more than enough time to partially charge the car battery. After you turn off the car try and start it again (you can always use the jump-starter again to restart the car if you need to). If the car still will not turn over or crank then the problem is due to a bad battery. Batteries tend to last from 4 ~ 6 year before they require replacement. If the problem is just a loose terminal then you might try wedging a small screw or nail between the post and the cable. My Rav4 is a 2002 model and I love the car as it's a breeze to work on and I'm able to fix pretty much everything myself. BTW ~ Jumper cables should have worked on this person's Rav4 as once boosted the Rav4 should keep running till it was shut off as the alternator will continue to supply power to the vehicle but just not to the battery. Whoever boosted the car didn't have a clue as to what they were doing. If the battery and alternator are working properly it only takes 5 minutes to charge up the battery with enough power to restart the car. If the battery is bad the engine will barely even crank over. To test if the alternator is at fault just disconnect the battery while the car is running. If the car dies then the alternator is at fault as the alternator should power the car electricals regardless if the battery is connected or not.

All the lights going crazy was probably the ECM going through all the checks and making sure the theft system is also working properly which needed good voltage to work properly. The battery must need replacing unless the owner left the lights on and that's doubtful with the warning system.

There's some confusion around terminology maybe. Because the vast majority of car batteries sold here in NZ at least are sealed, flooded lead acid type. To me, that's still standard, though they do not have removable caps. They are neither gel nor AGM. Maybe Damien is using 'standard' to mean the older style (still available) that DO have removable caps. Instead I believe the sealed type have a 'labyrinth structure' in the top lids to help collect water and recycle it. Simply not as much is able to evaporate. As for not trusting them? I recently replaced a 6 year old battery, because of signs of age / weakness. But it was not from loss of electrolyte.

@chocolate_squiggle

@@seventhson3228 generally good practice to remove negative cable first, so if you're only going to remove one, remove that one. Reason is because with both battery cables connected, the entire metal chassis (and engine etc) is connected to the negative / ground terminal. That means if you are careless, especially if using a long spanner / wrench / socket tool, and accidentally strike another bit of metal while undoing the positive terminal, then you're effectively connecting (short-circuiting) the positive battery terminal straight through your tool, and the chassis, to the negative battery terminal and that's very very bad - you'll see sparks like off a welding machine. If you remove the negative first, and accidentally strike the chassis while doing so, it doesn't matter - the chassis is already negative/ground anyway - nothing happens. Once you've removed the negative terminal from the battery, the chassis and engine are no longer potential conduits for short circuit so you can more safely remove the positive terminal. As far as I know that's the only real reason to remove the negative first. I don't think electrically it matters. It's just a good safe practice.
