You might actually have less miles than I do!
I’m just under 14k on a 2014 LE
Anyways, I had to replace my battery when the car turned two. Could’ve been replaced under warranty but I didn’t want another toyota battery.
I put an Interstate battery in, guaranteed 5 years! Cost me around $120. You can get a similar battery by Interstate at Costco for around $85, but they’re only guaranteed for 3 years.
You can check, or have someone check, the alternator voltage. I doubt this is your problem but it’s worth having it checked.
Toyota just uses cheap batteries.
I used to use a Battery Tender in my work vehicle a few years ago. They work well. You can semi permanently attach a wiring harness to your battery and then simply plug your car in when you get home. They’re safe, I have a few of them. Battery Tender has been around for years and is a trusted brand. Available at your local Walmart too!

The Battery Tender should come with a protected cable that has a cap on the end for when it’s not in use.
I have used these for years on cars, trucks and motorcycles. They work great.
No, you don’t need to leave the keys. It’s just wires that hang off your battery. If you buy one, you’ll see what I’m talking about. You can always return it if it’s not for you.
