They drove the battery to their Okhla workshop & reverted back after 3 days with the above status saying that battery is now working fine.
I ran my vehicle for another couple of months till Oct 08, i called up BatMobile again for battery not working wherein i was told that Exide car helpline vehicle is down & so they can't attend the vehicle. I[censored]rgent, take the battery to the shop wherefrom you purchased it.
Unfortunately, the dealer from whom i bought the battery is no more dealing in Exide batteries & hence i was made to bear the cost of it.
On 1st Nov 08, I took my battery personally to Wazirpur (Exide Industires Limited, c/o Indo Arya center), [protected] wherein Manoj took my battery for checking & kept it for 3 days & i was told to collect the battery on 4th Nov. I finally reached them on 5th Nov & i was assured that battery has been repaired & will now work fine.
Status given to me was below -

As per them, battery was kept on charging from 1st Nov 08 (4pm) to 3rd Nov (11am)
I was handed battery with full assurance that it will not fall again.

Unfortunately, after 9 days of driving battery went down again while on my way from office
Nobody (BatMobile @[protected]/8 & Exide Supervisor in Wazirpur @ Mohan Singh) responded to my rescue on 14th Nov 08 evening hours 6-7pm.
I'll be suing the Exide batteries for improper, inefficient & pathetic support.
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME IN KNOWING HOW TO RAISE A CASE IN CONSUMER COURT, PLEASE CALL @ +[protected]MANUJ SACHDEVA)
I DONT UNDERSTAND THE TECHNICL TERMS OF GRAVITY & ALL.
ALL IM BOTHERED IS THE WORKING BATTERY THAT SHOULD NOT HAMPER MY DAILY REGIME.
DESPITE 2ND PROBLEM REPORTED WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASE, THESE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TO CALM DOWN THE USER & MAINTAIN THE CUSTOMER REALTIONS RATHER THEY INJECTED FUEL TO THE FIRE.

I'M SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF
CAN ANYBODY PROVIDE ME THE CONTACT NUMBER OF EXIDE BATTERIES, CUSTOMER SUPPORT MANAGER as everytime i call them in Jhandewalan, they dont give me his/her extension.

SUPPORT IS ZERO.
DNT BUY EXIDE BATTERIES EVER...I DID A MISTAKE, WILL NOT REPEAT IT...

I fully agree. Exide dealers dont bother for the cutomers. NEVER bye an EXIDE battery because I also being tortured by an exide dealer and he gives me AMARON battery as service battery and charges Rs 50+50 each time but battery still wont work. Now I have finally given up and going to buy an AMARON battery because I have seen the performance of the old service battery (AMARON) provided by the dealer. Hell to the guarantee of Exide. AND pl tell others also never buy an exide.

I have complaint for my car battery in this column so many times, but i haven't got any reply or solution of my problem. I don't understand why one should complaint in this forum? and what this forum means to exide company? Is it a lollipop to suffering customer? Will this forum reply any way! or will try to solve this acute problem? I am waiting last six months! what about others? Email sending option is printed on above right side of the company but is there some one to reply or to solve problems of the consumer in this forum?
