Logan Battery

The is regarding to the price of battery .I had visited the tata green web site they are telling that for logan car the price is around 5596 with 60 months warranty .If you wnat 12 month warranty the price is only 4351. So if any one is going to change the battery please go through the site also . The price which is charged by other companies is very high.It is only an infromation .Tata green battery is good according to electricians . So why we should spend around 2000 more for a battery .

Thanks for the information.

A Friend of mine worked with Tata and now is with Exide.. He says tata batteries are not good! Just imagine, some Its not even in some of their own tata cars!

hi friends
i replaced my battery at 51200kms exactly after 3 years with exide DIN60 for
rs8000 afer exchange. is it okay? please comment.

thanks

A couple of days ago my Logan would not start. As it had the original Exide factory fitted battery which is now 3.5 years old I immediately suspected the battery.

When I went to the battery shop to check out the battery, they topped up the water and told me the battery was fine. But still the battery wouldn't charge and would show a constant 11Volts even with the engine revved up.

With some difficulty I managed to get the vehicle to the Mahindra workshop. There the opened up the alternator and found that the the alternator pulley had worn out and though the pulley was spinning the alternator inside was not being rotated. Also the alternator belt had a crack in it.

Thankful to report: Alternator Pulley (value Rs.5500/-) replaced under Extended Warranty. Had to pay for a new belt though (Rs650/-)

Was advised to change battery soon as the time elapsed is over 3.5 years. Workshop quote for new Exide battery is Rs.9700/- .... will see when the time comes.. maybe will go for SF like Saumil has ... btw Saumil how is the new battery performing?

Everything on logan seems too steep considering its basically engineered as a low maintenance low cost car for third world countries. this is freaking me out. damn mahindra. ....

can anybody give cost of other spares....
1) tie ends
2) ball joints
3) bushes
4) belts
5) bearings
6) struts & bush kits
7) clutch cable
accelerator cable

I always buy the cheapest Battery with the correct ampage
I can Buy a Bosch for 85 euros with 2 year Guarantee
or I can buy a No Name el Cheapo for 20 euros and with 2 years Guarantee

Can you see where I am going ?

@Tom, the battery is doing absolutely fine.. crossed 50K kms!

I replaced mine recently with Amaron, close to 75,000Kms. Cost Rs6500/-.

hi guys my dle logan which is now 3 year and 2 months old was going good till yesterday but when i tried to change the blower position by the knob in control panel it got stuck and then moved freely and position of the blower was not changing i called up the service center guy of mahindra he told me that it cant be repaired and whole control panel would be changed which will cost me about 8000 or even more i was shocked.

i decided to take a look myself and when i opened the control panels face(in which stereo and all knobs are fitted) which has some 6 locks and no screws i saw that the metal wire which gets pushed and pulled by the knob was free sort of i took out 2 screws of the panel and it was in my hand had to remove 2 sockets one of hazard light switch and one of the control panel i then adjusted the wire in its lock and it started working again only thing was my switch was not rotating properly its getting stuck somewhere

i saw some locks to open it and i was confident i could repair it myself but as i just conformed its cost and my problem was almost sorted i did not took the risk and closed everything and now my knob is working but not fully i mean when i put it on air to face condition i can still feel some air flowing on my feet but its working not stuck with air on windows only like it was before when got free.

guys i know this thread is about battery so dont curse me i was just coming on to battery in all this i was using blower again and again for about 1 hour during whole process and after that when i tried to start my car it did not started i opened the bonnet and when checked the battery in its checking glass i was able to see red color

i was sure its dead and needs replacement one of my neighbour suggested i should get it charged once but as i did not wanted to take any risks and i knew a diesel car battery hardly lasts more then 3 years with all equipment like amplifier fog lamps etc. i decided to change the battery

today i jump started my logan with my alto and went to the local market and i was realy confused to see so many brands i was getting a local battery for 2100 only in replacement of my old battery with 1 year guarantee and a exide for 3000 and another exide for 3500 amaron for 3500 but when i conformed the price of the battery which i got with my car it was 6500 of exide for din 60 amp. battery 5 years guarantee it was maintenance free amaron battery of same was not available i conformed i was having a din battery in my car and all others will have to be fitted with some jugad(adjustment) which i did not wanted at all.

so i had 2 options exide din for 6500 or sf din for 6000 both are manufactured by exide but i wanted to go for amaron as i have heard alot about its quality so i enquired about its din batterries i was told amaron pro din 66 amp will cost me about 6000 and amaron go din for 4700, the difference was of guarantee amaron pro had a guarantee of 5 years 2.5 of replacement and 2.5 for discount and amaron go 1.5+1.5 also amaron go was not maintenance free but as amaron pro was not available and also amaron go was lil lighter on budget i selected amaron go dont know how much it will last it costed me 4700 with replacement of my old battery

has anyone else used amaron batteries in logan diesel if yes please can u share your experience, rate, model and amp. of the battery...

@ Nitin,

Not on the Logan, but on my dad's M800, I had to change the battery while he was away on a trip. I changed frmo Exide to Amaron then and since then (2006) I've never heard that battery complain again.

Should be decent according to me.

Most batteries are technically the same, only the major difference will be in warranty. So If you dont believe in warranty then go for the cheapest one available in a good brand.
I have not used Amaron, So I cannot comment on it. But it is in my sis car placed about a month back and it is fine.

Finally the D day has come after 4 yrs 6 months my OEM Exide battery went to sleep. Enquired in the market as well as various sites and decided to replace with Amron. For Diesel recommended is 60 AMPS, went for the 2 yrs free replacement + 2 yrs warranty, costed me 5500/-.

Model # AMRON FLO 566112060
Price : Rs5500/- in exhchange for you old battery.

Thats a good life for a Diesel Battery I am still on my first but mines a Petrol 1400 but I will buy a new one this year because our winter will kill it off this year

That is really a good price.
I changed mine with Tata Green for around 5k in exchange of my the then existing Exide dead. A new Exide was costing me 9k

I have been quoted Rs 4500 for a 4 years warranty Exide Battery. However, i have done 60,000 with an amp and a subwoofer and my existing battery refuses to die


Peace,

Batteries like to be used ! the harder you work them the longer they seem to last ! Just keep the connections clean

They call the new age batteries maintenance free but you need to do basic maintenance to get long life - like cleaning the acidic ash that gets accumulated.

Hey Folks,

Just got the existing Battery changed with Exide matrix 60ah with 5 years of warranty.The company fitted battery had started showing signs...i am at peace now!!!!


Peace

How much did you pay?

@72000 kms......RIP my battery.......lets see which one to go for...

@62000km and 4years 8 months factory fitted Exide battery has finally copped a cell I think. Shows 10.6Volts.

Time for a replacement.

Amaron or Exide, guys??
For a GLE petrol 1.4

My battery is showing signs of ending life. Cold starts in the morning cause the MID to go blink-blink-blink. I've run 75000kms and 5yrs now.
Last time I changed my dad's car battery, I went for an Amaron. Was an absolute peace-of-mind. Am thinking of the same now.

Any suggestions?

would suggest Amaron, they are working fine with me.

Deccansand, i paid 6,200 for the same. I personally feel there is no better battery than Exide!!


Peace
