I purchased Yamaha SZR in 20 March’12 but your Exide battery(6K13793173, Exide 12MX5L-B) expired in just 11 months. I went for replacement at Luthra Exide Center, (Authorised Dealer) Sales & Service, Dwarka, Nashik,. Dealer sent to my battery to the exide company for replacement. After one week I got reply that battery could not be replaced due to battery exceed the warranty period from the manufacturing date. And they sent back my battery without replacement. However battery warranty period last on 20 March 2013. How this is possible that warranty period end before 1 year? If it is not get replaced I can go to consumer forum to complain it.

Respected sir,
I had purchased a maruti Ritz in December 2012, with Exide battery number 245836 in it.
The battery was discharged and I had called the Exide team -Siliguri for the needful to be done. The battery was taken on 26th February 2012 and till date it is not fixed. The delay in charging has made me business loss. The promise was made from the Exide to deliver the battery next day but nothing has happened.
Kindly look in the matter so that I can get my battery in working condition as the same was in warranty period.
Thanks and regards,
Sanam Chopra
Siliguri.
The exide battery of my scooter became defective under guarantee period, the battery was sent to the dealer for claim, the dealer is Venus Batteries, jhansi..the exide has replaced the claimed battery to the dealer but in dry condition.. the acid was to be added by the dealer and accordingly the first charging was also due, now the dealer is asking Rs 100 for the acid and the charging of the battery, is it fair?
Exide battery is a d-grade battery. Its service is too late and its workers dont know that how to talk with customers specially kotdwara dealer shri jee battery.
I am constrained to approach you again as under;
I purchased two Excide Batteries from your dealer M.s Ashoka Battery, G.T. Road, Panipat vide their cash memo No. 17613 dated 07.05.2010 with a warranty of 4 years.
My batteries went out of order during warranty period. I deposited the batteries with your dealer M/s Ashoka Battry about one and a half month back.
They sent the batteries to Excide company .vide job order No. 331-5 and 331-3 and I was issued complaint No.NHHO00022202 dated 7.2.13. by Excide company.
Having not received the proper reply from the dealer I lodged complaint No. 439806 with National Consumer Helpline.
I was informed that batteries have become dead and new batteries have been sent to the dealer and I should collect from them.
The dealer informed me that they have not received the batteries.
On my contacting Excide Customer Care I was informed that they have sent the batteries to the dealer and have also closed my complaint.
I am sorry to note that when I have not been given new batteries how my complaint has been closed.
I would again request you to please get the batteries delivered to me, otherwise I shall be formed to lodge complaint before the Consumer Redressall Forum entirely at the risk and consequences of all concerned.
I purchased Passion Pro bike in November’11 but your Exide battery expired in just 11 months. I went for replacement at Exide Power Center, (Authorised Dealer) Sales & Service, Payyanangadi, Tirur but the person said it will take 30-45 days for replacement, very strange !!!! Your company has to offer some alternatives for replacement. How can I run the byke without light, indicators, meter, and horn etc. Awaiting your reply.
I HAVE PURCHASED TWO TUBBLER BATTERIES FOR INVERTER ONE YEAR AGO WITH 2 YEAR WARRANTY. NOW THESE BATTERIES HAVE BACKUP OF ONLY 10 MINUTES IN THE LOAD OF 2 CFL. WHERE SHOULD I COMPLAIN? TO DEALER OR EXCIDE COMPANY COMPLAIN CENTRE??
Purchased one Exide Battery (C/H 7×2,sl no-UPD/L223599) 500va ups from your dealer SARAF MOTOR COMPANY,AT Road,Guwahati-1. Initially it was ok but after few months (within 1yr of warranty period) it stopped giving proper backup. The battery was returned to dealer on 25/12/2012 but till today(4/1/2013) received no communication.
My company bought one of your battery EP-42-12 model ,but now am completely dissatisfied with the service of your company. I was assured a warranty of 2 years, even after three complaints your company does not respond properly. Last complaint was NRUP-00002407 dt.21/12/12.
I purchased Exide battery 4 months back for my Honda city thinking that it is the best battery brand but i was really wrong about it. Just after using it for a month my battery started to give me problems. If i dont use my car for a day or two the car wont start at any cost. I contacted the dealer from where i purchased it but they say its not possible, as if i am lying to them. Anyways after convincing a lot they said they have to recharge the battery which surprisingly i have to pay (it has 1yr warranty) but after few days the same problem again arises now. When i go to the dealer & ask them to replace the battery they just try to ignore about it & only tell me to recharge. I have to again bear the cost. I simply want to replace the battery. If it is under one year warranty, am I not right in claiming for a replacement?
I want to inform you that my exide battery for bajaj XCD135 (Battery Serial no-PATN 051604 G 11) is under warranty period but i went to the dealer, he does not give me the service am liable to. The basic problem is it is discharging quickly even if it is charged to full.
I purchased Honda Dream Yuga bike three months ago. Within one month, power start function was not operational due to poor quality of Exide battery. I contacted Customer Care, but no response from them. What a poor service they offer!
I am planning to go to consumer forum now.
Have been requesting for replacement of Battery Cell 500+ – Batch No. 3WB Sl No. 031657
At my residence this time I had purchased three Exide batteries from your authorized representative PRIME LAM on 21/06/2011 VIDE BATTERY BATCH NO. 3WB AND SERIAL NO. 031657. We did complaint even after six months of span to the dealer for one battery but always it was told to get it replaced or I shall do the needful but there was no help in solving problem.
OUR BATTERY IS TOTALLY DEFECTIVE AND EVEN SERVICE ENGINEERS whoever visited from Exide battery also agreed on the same. The battery is in poor condition and FIVE LITER OF WATER IS CONSUMED WITHIN SPAN OF 30 DAYS AND AGAIN IT BECOMES DRY.
The battery back is low and even after A SPAN OF ONE MONTH INVERTER SHOWS CHARGING EVEN THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY PROBLEM. The battery always remains on charge only. We had checked up Inverter also so many times from Exide Dealers and it is perfectly in good condition and there is no problem with it and checked up with other batteries also.
We did complain earlier directly to the company and representative came and LIFTED THE BATTERY and charged 250/- AS SERVICE CHARGE BATTERY. We received it back after a gap of 15 days and the problem is same.
AGAIN WE HAVE COMPLAINED on 15/10/2012 and slip is being made ON 17/10/2012 with the remarks that Battery cell goes dry and LOW BACKUP. Daily Job Sheet prepared on 17/10/2012. WHY A CUSTOMER SHOULD SUFFER AND COMPLAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN. Yours is a Prestigious and renowned company and why this problem should arise. I have 50 years faith in the Exide batteries and this is the first time the problem is coming with your model Cell500+ battery.
I purchased a toyota innova last year on 17 oct 2011. The problem initially arose with the battery and the vehicle only has run till 15000km. It just completed 13 months. We are now facing lot of problems. After a break when I started the vehicle it wont start, so had to push the car to get it started for 3 to 4 days. I feel cheated. Why dont you check the batteries before putting them in the vehicles?
I purchased a bike Model No- Discover-ST125. After one week when I tried to start my bike, it will not start. I visited the Bajaj Service center. Engineer told me that my battery was very weak. There is a problem with battery. He referred me to Exide battery service center Okhla Phase-I B-24 office. They told me that they cannot replace my battery. I visited two times, but there is
no resolution. I have taken leave from my office for replacing my bike battery but Exide company does not have procedures to replace the battery without running their system.
I purchased a UPS battery and used for 8 months. It is working very good but from last month it is getting dry. I had complained more than 5 times to customer care, no one turned up.
recently bought one of your battery but now am completely dissatisfied with the service of your company. I was assured a warranty of 4.5 year, however now my batter is lying with your company for replacement. It has been 3 months, but no response at all!!
I purchased Passion Pro bike in April’12 but your Exide battery expired in just 6 months. I went for replacement at National Auto at Paldi, Ahmedabad but the person said it will take 10 days for replacement, very strange !!!! Your company has to offer some alternatives for replacement. How can users like me drive without light, indicators, meter, horn etc.
I purchased IT500 Exide battery at Haldia, Purba Medinipur from Skylab Electronics, Durgachak, Haldia, Purba Medinipur,Pin-721602 on 2nd April 2010. The battery serial no is 1TD 02843. It is giving only about 45 minutes back-up. Why? Whether the battery was charged to the full, it still happens? How old is the battery manufactured? I am a regular user of Exide battery & owner of LG authorized service centre. I am fed up with your poor customer service. I do not see any improvement from service centre.

When we want service, people at the Exide Van say they have work load or the area and that I am not in coverage area. I am fed up with your poor customer service. I have four bike and a tata sumo which run on exide battery. I will soon replace the battery with other company.
I have a electric scooty and I purchased exide batteries for it last year. The batteries did work just after 10 months whereas local/Chinese batteries which came with scooty ran for 2 years. In March 2012 I again bought new batteries for my scooty and all of them got destroyed within 4 months. I returned to dealer and he is saying no batteries are in company’s stock. I am getting the same answer from last 2 weeks.
Is it true that company don’t have the batteries in stock to give the replacement to customer ?

We purchased 2 Exide 40AH Tubular Battery 12 V (6EL 40) from the your dealer LINKNET Solutions Pvt. Ltd, Cochin, Kerala on 27th oct. 2010. The Battery is warranted for 48 months.
It was giving us a very good backup. but for the last few months the battery is giving us only 5 to 10 mints only. The UPS Techi told us that the battery has to replace. So we contact the EXIDE Costumer Care.
They given us a complaint no (SKUP 00011006) After (with out any reaction) two weeks time I go a message says the Complaint SKUP 00011006 is closed. I went to customer Care again and registered fresh complaint and they gave us a new complaint no which is SKUP00011402.
Today morning got a sms says my complaint no is closed. how is it possible to close a complaint no with out solve it. well any way, I think the official who reed this message will take needful step as early as possible to solve the problem before the warranty period get over and I forced to take further actions.
I bought a Micra Diesel car in August 2011.It has completed just 10 months of service to me.Just after the second free service the car battery stopped charging and on making a complaint with your customer care centre on 29/6/2012 neither loan battery could be fitted nor attention was paid inspite of my personally calling the service centre in Kolkata three times.Once the mechanic came and brought a battery which could not be fitted due to some problem. I am surprised what type of service is provided to your customer where your mechanic does not know what make/model of battery is installed in the car.Customer care centres seems are only for the name sake and they should be renamed as Customer Trouble Centres.It is surprising how ther battery could give up in just 10 months of service-it leavs a serious thought on quality control levels in your company.Seems Exide is still working in the monopilistic markets where they dont care. I have spent more on a hired car then the cost of the battery in past four days.
I bought a battery for bullet from Star Auto parts, Ludhiana vide memo No4291 dt21-10-2010.

But they returned the same with the remarks that battry is O.K. and the dealer returned back the same to me after charging. Initially it worked, but now the battery again stopped working.
I recently bought one of your battery but now am completely dissatisfied with the service of your company. I was assured a warranty of 4.5 year, however now my batter is lying with your company for replacement. It has been 3 months, but no response at all!!
