Logan 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!!!!

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

Been over 5 years, battery still going strong , keeping my fingers crossed.

I faced starting troubles on couple of ocassions in past 1 month, got it checked from a nerby battery shop, voltage on multimeter was prett good, then he removed the battery and did some load test and said better to replace the battery, he showed amaron 65din rs.6000/- after buyback of factory fitted exide. I have couple of doubts 1. Exide is 60DIN is it ok to fit a 65DIN Amaron? 2.is there a possibility of any other fault other than battery. Mine is a Logan 1.6 petrol, 46k KM, 3 years and 4 months. One more thing i'm fully confused with prices, saw some of the replies in 2010 quoting battery rs.8k and 9k, has the price come down due to competition ?

plz get checked from authorised service centre or your usual garage & not from any altoo faltoo garage .
coz Logan is prefitted with long lasting maintenance free battery which lasts minimum up to 4 years . unless vehicle is parked for long durations like more than 15 days battery gets down on voltage .
whenever ur vehicle is sparingly used then car should be run at regular intervals of max 4 days

if it becomes necessary to replace battery plz go for Excide coz company fitted one is quite good..

I buy a cheap battery that has the same garentee as a dear one ..........it stands to reason !

Try using TATA Green battery for Logan. I installed one 18 months back and is running good so far.

After 5 years and 76000kms, my Stock Exide battery was showing some signs of retirement. I waited for a month and yesterday changed to Amaron Flow Series.
Costed me 5300 (Rs.6700 - 1400 for exchange of old one).

Please also help us with the rationale behind this choice. Looking at the performance of the stock Exide, I would think of going back to an Exide showroom and asking for a battery with similar spec. Is that more expensive ? or Is the one you chose performing better in the field ?

I drive a Normal 14 Logan with a Radio CD MC Player I have no AC (not warm enough here) and I changed my Battery at 75000 km because of our extra cold winters ! BUT I do not pay out for dear Batteries I get the correct Amps and a Cheap Battery the reason been I have the same Guarantee on a Cheap or a Dear Battery

I had previously got Amaron installed in my dad's car and though he used it less, it survived 7 years straight without a complaint.

That was one of the reasons, apart from their onsite support.

Warranty is however only 2+2 years which I am ok with.
