[Resolved]  Exide (In1350 Plus) — BATTERY GIVING LESS BACKUP

i had purchased this battery(exide inverter plus IN 1350 PLUS) on 22/04/2007 from royal international, birati, kolkata. After about 16 months it started giving less backup. In recent days during powercuts it runs for barely 1.5 hrs with only 1 fan and 1 light running. It should be running 6 points for about 4 hrs minimum. the royal international has closed its services. so i would request you to offer us a proper service of the battery.

yes i agree with him.
Perhaps the supplier of inverter or the battery dealer are not educating the customers on maintenance,

i purchased the inverter with Exide 135plus in june 2008 and was giving good back up till OCT 2011.

in the first week of november, it started giving back up for only one hour, calling the dealer from where the battery was supplied, said that you have to change the battery and you have not maintain the battery by keeping the eye on the float on the liquid level .

at the time of supply, the dealer said, it is a maintenance free battery and you need not do any thing . even the float 6 nos supplied along with the battery was kept in side the casing and was opened by the technician and gave the demo after purchase of 3 years . where as my friends and relatives are using the local make of similar type even after four years with regular check up working and keep the back up .

what a huge cost, that some one has to pay for learning the maintenance of the battery . same way you would have been taken for a ride by the company or dealer .
there is no instruction also given in the carton box ( luckily, i am still having the carton box)


with thanks,

It would be great if the consumer was educated as to the ways batteries are made. A 2 year battery is only good for a max. of 2 years if you do regular maintenace and are lucky. 3 yrs, 5 years batteries the same. The more charges and discharges the less battery life time.
This exide IN1350 plus is not a good battery over long term.
I had bought one in 2010 and in 3 years its gone blank completely, inspite of regular refills etc.
Actually when they say its maintenance free why theres a need to add water etc to it periodically?

Nwayz its not value for money, plus the dealer tells me the cost after exchange of my old battery with new one would be 11k which is too high.
