Dear sir

I have purchased two inverter plus Exide batteries for a 1400 va luminous invertor on 29.12.2007 (so warranty exist upto 29.06.2009) from a dealer R.K.BATTERIES, HUKULGANJ, VARANASI.

One of the battery (serial no. 4F7-19134) has been sent to service centre through my dealer R.K.BATTERIES on 14.05.2009 and I have been given a PRN NO. 10829 and a phone no.[protected] of service centre by my dealer. When I enquired for its status, till 22.5.09 it was said that "battery is under charging" and on 23.5.09 they told me that "battery is O.K." and it will be sent to my dealer, from where it can be collected on Monday 25th'May. Why they are making contradictory statements.

Today i.e. on 25th'may'09 they are again saying that we are checking its backup and wanted more days.

Sir this to be noticed that at the time of purchase of the batteries it was told that this kind of batteries are non-repairable and will be replaced immediately whenever any complain arises. Now they are taking so long time. Already, it is 12th day it has been sent.

Is this not only passing the time, when it is going to be end of warranty period.

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely

Hi,

I have been an ardent fan of Hyundai products till now. Off late it has made me think again. I purchased my Hyundai Getz from KUN Hyundai Chennai in September 2006. I have been actively using the vehicle since that time. This week when I started my car, it would not start and had to take the battery (exide) for recharging. To my shock I found out that the cells of the battery were down and could not be recharged (as per my battery mechanic).

Are the batteries made to last only for 2 and a half years? If yes, this is sad. I am not yet done with the hire purchase of the car and I am not in a position to shell out another lumpsum on a new battery. Please advise.

Regards,
Ahmed

Sir,

I have purchased an EXIDE battery for HERO HONDA SPLENDOR on 20/08/08. It has a GAURANTEE coverage of 1 year (from the date of purchase). The battery has been serviced twice since I have purchased it & each time, I was being detailed that battery needs to be send to the facory for checking. Instead, it was being re - charged and installed back in the motor cycle. The battery works for 1 or 1& a half months & again gets fully discharged. The second time when it got discharged (on 24/03/09), I was assured by the seller that next time if it get discharged, we will change the battery without sending it for a check. Today, on 21/04/09, when it has got discharged again (the third time), the seller is not changing the battery and asking it to hand over it again to him so that he can send it to the company's workshop for checkup. The Product details are as under -

I DEMAND FROM THE EXIDE INDUSTRIES COMPANY THAT MY BATTERY SHOULD BE CHANGED IMMIDIATELY AND ALSO PAY FOR MY DAMAGES

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.

Dear Sir,
I have purchased a 12 volt IT 500 Exide battery (Batch No IE 6 & Serial No 089041) from Exide Care, M/s Burdwan Battery House, G T Road, Burdwan on 06.11.2006, covering a warranty for 30 months supplied with Luminous Inverter vide cash memo No 978. Right from February 2008 the battery starts giving problem and on verbal complain authorized person from M/s Burdwan Battery House took away the battery on 05.03.2008 for repairing. Within 10 days they returned the battery to me. After January 2009 the battery started showing same problem i.e. battery is getting discharged within 5 minutes after full charge. I have reported M/s Burdwan Battery House once again and 2nd time they took away the battery on 06.02.2009 and after 15 days they returned it but this time the problem remained unsolved till today. I have talked to them either over phone or in person several times but M/s Burdwan Battery House has not taken any initiative till date (03.04.2009). Mention to be made further that they have also checked the Inverter and found no problem with it.
Please take the necessary step at an early date at least for the sake of my 7month old daughter in hot summer days.

Hi,

We had purchased Exide Traction Battery (model No. 24TLF17, 48V 443Ah) in MAY'08, With in two month it has shown poor back, so i complained to the dealer.This is to bring for your kind remembrance for our forklift As after two months later from the implementation of battery, we are continuously facing the problems in battery some of which is like that the battery is not charging well or the back-up problems, etc. As while going through the complaint we had made so many calls to Mr. Satishji and always he persuaded to us. So then we are writing this complaint to you and requesting you to please look out after that.
In this regard i want your help. So please guide me in right way.

I have purchased aExide Inva Tubular battery in April 2008 from Hardoi but within 10 month battery back reduced by 70% which is worst than a local battery then what is the purpose to buy a original battery of brands like EXIDE and investing 12000 rs. as i am transferred from Hardoi to sitapur then plz inform with the detail from where and how i can get the problem served in sitapur as battery is under warranty

Dear Sir,

I purchased Exide Battery on 24 July 06, from Balajee Motors, Bathinda (Punjab) against the Bill No.1825 with in first year it has shown poor backup, so i complained to the dealer. He kindly accepted my request took away my battery for servicing. I insisted dealer to Replace the old battery with a new battery as the old battery was not working properly, as the battery condition was accepted by the dealer.. So the dealer replaced the battery in the month of September 2008 after a gap of 2 month period as the battery was within guarantee period. After that the replaced battery was also not properly working, many times informed the dealer, he always sent his mechanic with me and he always blamed that your inverter is faulty. So I got checked by inverter and which was found in order. By that time winter started so we didn't have any choice to test backup. But dealer assured us at least 6 hrs (two fans & two lights) backup will be given by the battery, recently i got know it is giving hardly 2. hr backup, which we can't expect from a branded company. In this regard again informed the dealer and he checked the battery and confirmed me that battery is faulty and the battery is not charging properly and suggested me to install me new battery as this battery can not be replaced again.

But in this regard I do not under stand my fault as the battery has not given me proper work even for the 18 months, how ever the life of the battery is generally claimed my the companied is 36 months. So I request you to look in the matter, other wise I will be forced to lodge my claim in the Consumer Form.

Hi,

At the first moment itself I insisted dealer to exchange a new battery on behalf of old one coz later one is still under gauranty period, but he refused to do so. Finally i got my product after 4 months time. By that time winter started we didn't have any choice to test backup. But dealer assured us atleast 6 hrs(two fans & two lights) backup. recently i got know it is giving hardly 2.30 hr backup, which we can't expect from a branded company. In this regard i want your help. So please guide me in right way.

Honourable Exide Officials, Dated 29th Jan 2009

EXIDE BATTERY NOT CHARGING BUT SERVICE ENGINEER MAKE US FOOL ON ONE PRETEXT OR OTHER

Dear Sir,
I have lodged the complaint to the authorities of EXIDE BATTERY that I have purchased the said battery on 11th Feb 2008. It's not at all giving proper back up and it is not getting charged.

On my several requests the Service Engineer Mr. Mohit[protected] called me at my Mobile Number[protected] and told me that your Exide Invertor Battery IN 1500 Plus is ready and its report is O.K. You please get the delivery of the Battery from Ravindera Motor Garage, The Exide dealer of Phagwara. When I reached to get the delivery of the Battery the dealer demanded Rs. 150/- for charging of battery as per his version that the battery has needed deep Charging. I said that I am ready to pay the amount but kindly issue me the Payment receipt. But the dealer was not intersted to issue the receipt as he said that we don't issue the receipt of any kind. Then I made a call to Mr. Mohit on[protected]. He negotiated and directed me to pay Rs. 50/-. I said I am ready to pay but the receipt of the payment kindly be issued. Then the battery as is where is basis had been delivered to me.

Today on 29th Jan 2009 Mr. Narinder Singh Visited my office. I narrated the story and said him that check the battery as it is installed at my house. He said it is a fault of your Invertor. I said the same invertor and the same make the same battery is fitted at my office. Kindly shift the battery to my office and check with the invertor of my office. The Exide battery shifted to my office and the office's battery was taken to my house. On testing it was cleared that the same invertor which had been charging the battery fitted at my office fail to do the necessary job. Then again the drama of one pretext or other started. O.K. We shall see later on what is the problem.

Sir, A Service Engineer named Mohit (Exide Battery Service, Jalandhar Pb) is not accomodating and I reported the matter to you earlier as well. I admit he has the powers designated more than Almighty as he is trying to prove. Whether we should consider him and pray for him and listen to his unnecessary arguments. WHY HE IS TRYING TO BEFOOL US. WHETHER WE SHOULD PRAY TO GOD FOR JUSTICE OR KEEP ON PRAYING TO EXIDE OFFICIALS WHO CONTINUE TO HARASS PUBLIC AND WILL REPEATEDLY SAY THAT THE FAULT IS AT YOUR INVERTER NOT IN BATTERY. WHETHER YOUR SERVICE ENGINEER HAS SHORT SIGHTED PROBLEM OR WE ARE SO FOOL THAT WE ARE MAKING CRY FOR THE LAST SO MANY MONTHS.

WHETHER THIS TORTURE WILL END SOMEDAY OR NOT? WHAT IS THE FUN TO PLACE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS.

KINDLY LET ME KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO AS I AM REALLY FINDING MYSELF IN A REAL HELPLESS STATE.

MISBEHAVIOUR BY YOUR SERVICE ENGINEER/ DEFICIENCY IN SERVICE/
REQUEST TO PROVIDE SERVICE AS PER CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 1986 (AMENDED) GUIDELINES

Honourable Exide Officials,
Regards!
Further to my E-mail message sent to you. On 27th Jan 2009, I got a call from[protected] at 10:04 AM at my Mobile Number[protected]. As I could not attend as my Cell Phone was lying at home and I was in office. Then that Gentleman called me at my office Phone[protected]. He talked with me and noted my contents and assured me to provide service.

On 27th Jan 2009 at 2:23 PM I got a call from [protected]. The gentleman enquired the matter and assured me that the Service Engineer will call you.

On 27th Jan 2009 at 3:17 I got a call from [protected], the calling gentleman enquired the matter and assured me that the Service Engineer wil call you as at present he is in Kapurthala. He said that he has instructed to the Service Engineer, on reaching Phagwara he will call you.

On 27th Jan 2009 at 4:29 PM got a call from Jalandhar Contact Number:[protected] the calling person misbehaved with me. The conversation is as under:

1. Calling Service Engineer:Qusestion to me: Whether you have complained regarding defective Battery of Exide.
Madhok (My self): Yes, I have reported the matter.
2. Service Engineer: Have you submitted the Purchase bill and Waranttee Card to the dealer.
Madhok: No, I have not submitted.
3. Service Engineer: Why not?
Madhok: Sir, it is no where mentioned that the Purchase voucher and Warantee card in original will have to be submitted for getting the Sevice. Secondly all the records have been in the company's record as well. As at the time of puchase on part of Warantee card (The pull out portion), the dealer used to keep with him. The Sale voucher is available with the dealer. I have mentioned the date of purchase and it has been written on the Battery with BALL POINT PEN which has been lying with the dealer. The complete biodata of the sale and warantee card can be traced out from the company's record.

4. Service Enginer: Your warantee has been lapsed as you failed to prove the Purchase of the said battery and Warantee Vourhcers.
Madhok: Sir, What is the solution now? Your battery can not get entry in our Sevice Station without the submission of Purchase voucher and Waranttee card.

5. Madhok: Sir, it means if a child can not prove that he is the son of this mother or father then the parents have no responsibility for upkeep and can shatter his responsibilities to someone else.
Service Engineer: We are not responsible, to provide service.

Sir, I am impressed with the service EXIDE BATTERY OFFICIALS ARE PROVIDING. Thanks for the prompt response and the service provided by Exide Battery.

Thank you Sir, I shall lift my battery from the dealer today as is where is basis. thanks for your Customer friedly behaviour. May God bless you all and you continue to provide such a good service to the customers.

Kindly send me the copy of rules and regulations framed by the Central or State Govt. under the Waranttee Clause. As warantee of my Battery has been lapsed it might be according to the rules framed by the Govt. guidelines. I shall be obliged to get your early response at the earliest.

Sir, I purchased Exide Battery due to its reputation. But the fact is that your sevice Engineer and officials know everything and dodze the customer on one pretext or other. WHICH IS DEFICIENCY IN SERVICE.

Kindly send me the copy of Conditions framed by Govt. under the Consumer Protection Act 1986 (Amended).

Why not the Exide Battery admit that there is a manufacturing defect in the battery. Why the customer is being harassed. Why the questioning is made on the customer. What is customer's fault. Whether the service station officials are directed to misbehave with the customers and in this way the company wil delegate its responsibilities on the customer's failure to provide documents. Where it is mentioned that the customer has to submit the documents in original to the Service Engineer to entertain the complaint. If he fails to do then there is no responsibility of service provider.

I request you to please favour me by providing the "Adequate battery Sale & Service conditions rules and regulations"

Kindly provide the detail about the average battery life of Exide Invertor IN 1500 PLUS Battery.

Sir, this is due to sheer negligence from ur end. Should I aproach to the authorities for getting justice and claim compensation for the mental and physical torture by EXIDE OFFICIALS.

Due to the negligence of Exide officials and Service Engineers We are suffering from complete black out during night and most of our light connections are not working due to the connections with batter-invertor. As we are living and our nights are dip dark, the Exide officials are playing with our sentiments and making the mockery of our pleadings.

This is ust to inform you the kind of servie Exide Owners are getting from your service providers need major improvements. I understand that satisfying all the customers is not easy task, but the basics of the Service Provider should be addressed properly as on depending on your service. As with Invertor-Battery mishappening like theft and getting hurt due darkness can not be avoided. So, kindly be kind enough to provide the service as per the rules framed by the Govt. under Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (Amended).

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

EXIDE INVERTER BATTERY; AFTER SALES SERVICE KINDLY BE PROVIDED TO MAINTAIN REPUTATION
EXIDE INVERTER BATTERY-RAVINDERA AUTO ENGG. WORKS, PHAGWARA

EXIDE BATTERY INVA 1500 PLUS NOT GETTING CHARGED. AFTER SALES SERVICE SHOULD BE MADE AS PROMISED TO MAINTAIN REPUTATION.

I had purchased a new Exide battery from Ravindera Auto Engg. Works, Phagwara in Feb 2008. Let me confess that I feel myself miserable as I have purchased the battery of a reputed company of India and now the company's dealer and officials are not cooperating and not giving the service as promised at the time of sale of the product. Why not the Company like Exide care for the credibility of the company and its management.

The comments are sought by the company officials what to do at this stage as said battery is within warantee period. From the two months of its purchase the said battery started giving trouble as it was not charging enough to produce desired electricity output in case of power cut.

After complaining this to the dealer M/s. Ravindera Auto Engg. Works who has been adviced to replace the said battery with company we handed over the same to him.

We have done several followups and reminders and every time we get one or other excuse. The brother has gone to Delhi. He will come back and after wards the battery will be checked, this or that.

Such type of excuses mar the company's reputation as well as of the dealer who continues to make this or that excuse.

Exide Battery 150 Amp of following details was purchased from authorized dealer

Type - DG-150R
Mfg Code - 0612
Sr. No. - 170915
Date of purchase 17/12/2007
Warranty Card No.- 15480
Warranty period- 12 months
Name of Authorised Dealer from whom purchased - SAMPAT AUTOMOBILES, Bongaigaon, Assam
Invoice Sl No. RI/4149 Dated 17/12/2007

Detail of complaint: Above battery was purchased to use for house hold inverter (Microteck 800VA). After
about 11 months (i.e. With in Warranty Period) o[censored]se, the battery was found malfunctioning and it was not able to give back up during power failure. The battery was then taken to above authorised dealer, from whom battery was purchased, for free replacement as per terms of warranty. The Authorised dealer kept the battery with him and informed me that the same will be checked at his end. After retaining the battery for one week the dealer informed me that the battery was ok & there was no problem with the battery and suggested me that there may be problem in my inverter, which needs to be repaired. Then I took back the battery and tried to get the inverter checked / repaired. The service technician for inverter, available at Bongaigaon, kept the inverter for one week for checking, but he was unable to detect any defect with the inverter. Then the technician informed that it is beyond his capacity to find out defect, if any, due to non availability of proper instrument with him, and he suggested that the inverter should be sent to Guwahati for proper checking / repair if required. Accordingly he sent the inverter to service centre at Guwahati. The inverter after proper checking at Guwahati was received back by me after another 15-20 days, informing me that the inverter was OK. But strangely, on fitting the inverter with the above battery, it was found that the battery was still not giving the back up during power failure. The battery was further checked by me by connecting another good / working inverter of my friend to the battery, which reconfirmed malfunctioning of the battery. By this process the warranty period of 12 months had just elapsed. The matter was immediately brought to the notice of the above AUTHORISED DEALER and he was informed about the non functioning condition of the battery since its first time returning to him during the warranty period. He than agreed with the fact that the battery was not OK since the time of its initial returning to him, but refused to replace the battery telling that warranty period had just elapsed by that time and he needs to talk to the company for action towards replacement. All the time of asking him about the status, he informed me that he could not talk to Company due to one reason or other and asked me to enquire later. After about one more month of doing so, finally he informed me that nothing can be done since warranty period is over.
This is very much disgusting situation, as by purchasing product from a very reputed company like EXIDE BATTERY, we are put to suffer a grave situation like this. This is clear cut situation of misleading and cheating by above AUTHORISED DEALER.
