How Much Is Your Car's Battery Life?

[Aditya]

Would agree ... best thing to do would be to go for an external charging.

Yes , jump starting is done only in emergency . To go to work shop or to battery shop.

I have Exide in my Punto (OE).

Which other brand is better?

 

[Zinam]

Recently heard that TATA green batteries are good.

Amaron has proven its time here RSM. Its good than Exide.

 

[350Z]

Yes, Amaron is a good and reliable brand. Even Tata also released their batteries but I'm not sure how they performed in the market.

Amaron is really good!


Exide i don know about cars , but i had it in my Saffire and it came good for nearly 5 years with nil maintenance! The only thing i had to do was to maintain the water levels!!

In our omni , we put amaron , nil maintanance.
it was with us for 4 years. Even after selling that , omni comes to service at garage. still the amaron is doing the duty fine. so its in service for 6 years

Hey guys just one doubt! Do we need to check the fluid level in the batteries of cars just like in bikes?? If so what is the interval in which we should check?

 

[ilango[speed thirst]]

Check it one in a month. that should be fine

 

[Aditya]

Zero Maintenance batteries too?

 

[cooldhaya]

Isnt once in a month interval too short??

 

[ilango[speed thirst]]

Zero Maintenance batteries too?

Its 0 maintance , so why do you need to check

I did check after a year. It was full upto brim

My thoughts too!! I haven't checked my battery yet in the 20 months of ownership!

our m800 (purchased in june 2001) battery lasted till oct 2005 - i.e more than 4 years - and it wasn't maintenance free. changed to another battery(exide) and in april 2007 we sold the car and till that time no problem.

our wagonr (got in 2007 april) is in 4th year and the sealed amaron battery is still holding fine.

the bike karizma R is in 2nd year and battery is again good fires in single self.
[i always fill water every 2 month]


if ur battery is not maintenance free one then make sure u personally check the water level, never rely on SVC people/
