[Resolved] Honda - Aviator — Battery Problem | |||
Dear Customer Support, Scooter of the year 2009 Honda Aviator ( god forbid ), do not know who gives these awards. My wife and I bought a new Honda Aviator ( shooting myself for not having read the reviews ) June 2011 that comes with a free battery issue, never self-starts even thought the vehicle specification says so, The service from the service centers is equally pathetic with dealers finger pointing at the Honda company. Since this is widely reported problem why does not Honda recall all the sold vehicles and get them fixed. We have been owning a Honda Dio from last 4 years and are in love with it, no problems. Very strongly recommend prospective buyers do NOT go for Honda Aviator until Honda fixes the battery issue, unless you want to exercise your limbs and begin the day without swear words. Warm Regards, Raghu Was this information helpful? | |||

One more highlight is Battery casing they use which doesnot allow 5L battery to fit in (5L battery is being used in Activa and Dio). You need to take care you have to buy only 4L battery for Aviator which is not available in Amaron.
I brought Amaron BTX5L battery on recomendation from the service center guys since, they told Activa or Dio battery would fit. But, to my agony after purchasing 5L battery, they took the vehicle to replace the battery only to discover that it only fits with 4L battery which is not available in Amaron.
Service guy asked me to get Exide 4L battery only. I got very annoyed and angry. Why should I buy Exide… It is the worst battery I found. Even, I had to replace this EXIDE battery for my car too. EXIDE BATTERY IS LIKE SUICIDE BATTERY… it will kill itself very soon and creates a big problem to the owner.
I stongly recommend as being a customer to Honda…. not to go for EXIDE battery which is obviously a big headache for the customers.
Now, I need to change the Battery casing with fabricated plate holder to fit my BTX5L Amaron battery into my Aviator. Also one suggestion to Amaron battery to manufacture 4L pro-bike batteries since, I found this to be a good battery and none of the aviator owners should face the problems which myself and other aviator owners faced till now.
Customer satisfaction should be every company’s motto.
