Logan Battery

Thanks vsuprak. I have an experience of using Amarons for the inverter. Did not have any issue as such.

In my old car I had got a Exide that was maintenance free for 5 years. I liked that very much - there was no hassle of checking water levels, adding water etc. I hope Amaron also has some such option.

My Verito is still new, so I dont have to worry for a few years.

Just curious: Your location shows Japan. Are you driving the Logan in Japan or when you are in India ?

@Sachin,
I've moved to Japan for a year. My logan is still there back in India under my dad's care.
Will miss it.

2 years is about normal life of an OEM battery in any diesel vehicle.
You are lucky if yours lasts longer.
Battery life doesn't decrease even if you drive 100,000kms in 2 years - however it does decrease if you don't use your car for long periods like months at a stretch.

Battery lasts about twice as long in petrol vehicles.

I feel the time has come for a battery replacement, my car is roughly 5 years and 10 months old, while starting today i could hear the whining noise, when the battery starts getting weak. Till now it has been a dream run on the exide battery. So any inputs on what battery should i go for as both Amaron and exide is good and which one to go for. I have not had any issues with maintenance free exide till now.

I changed my stock battery in (2009) for Tata Green and it is really good.
Also it came for almost 3000 less than Exide.

I have changed to this battery. http://www.sfsonicpower.com/ almost 2yrs now still going good. Was cheaper than Exide and they gave a better price for exchange.

2009 logan changed battery in dec 2012 to sonic 74 din /AMPH Rs 8500 in chennai

Guys I would like to share you ..mine is 1.4 glx equipped with immobilizer central locking ; power windows n music system 2 sub woofers n 2 6" speakers ..only music system I fitted seperatly... Else other things are factory fitted... Battery is still running running its 39000km sparingly used for highway cruising n countryside rides..5 years complete n 6 the in progress as it was purchased & delivered on 1/1/09...I observed in my earlier car n did car ...that remote key with central locking consumes load of battery my previous car consumed 3 batteries in 5 years..hence for this car I didn't chose that option

My car has never needed a battery but I bought one at 5 years ! I have central locking and I cannot see why you think That Central Locking will run down your battery ? at all !! Or do you mean the KEY battery ? I have also in 7 years not had to do this BUT changed it this year to be on the safe side !

You mean a car alarm !
Yes they eat batterys

hi,
the battery specification for verito 2012 is same or different, because when i was searching in the net for verito it was coming as 45-50A and for logan 1.5 it is 60A

The 45 amp is for the petrol engine ! a Diesel needs a stronger battery due to the higher compression so its 50 to 60 and sooner the 60 it will last longer ! Look at this German page http://www.all-batteries.de/autobatterie/dacia/logan-diesel/1-5-dci/092005.html

and the difference in price between 50 and 60 is not a lot

hi martin
Thank u for ur suggestion today morning i checked my OEM battery its only 50A. Can i go with 60 A and stick to 50A

If your battery is ok leave it in but when you buy a new one go for a 60

Go for Amaron FLO, i installed the same in my Logan and pretty happy with the same. It's 60 AH.
