Okey Guyz, we got new battery EXIDE DIN 65 for our ride; so thought to share the info with you all.
So here the story goes,
we were happily and proudly enjoying our 25months old DZire VDi which had clocked ~43.8k kms on the odo when this sudden issue started. There were two indicator lights on the instrumental cluster constantly on when the car was started.
Simultaneously, we felt that the car took load while starting (cranked for a long time than before!). Checked the manual and found out that the car needs to be serviced and there is water in the fuel filter.
So took the car for servicing. There our SA (service advisor), told spontaniously that this is regarding the battery issue after looking the lights; but my dad insisted him to check the battery again and gave the care for rouitine service. Took the car back and then also the problem did not stopped. Now with due course of time, many a times the car refused to start in one crank. One day the car didnt started and we were forced to start the car with the help of other cars battery. (desi method of starting the car with other battery using jumpers.) So then my dad felt that the battery needs to be changed.
We went to my dad's friend enquering about new battery. I told him we want the best and powerfull battery, if any, for our car. He suggested us this EXIDE DIN 65 maintenance free battery for our car. The battery does not need topping up battery water and all. Moreover, that battery had 60months warranty! Actually for first 30months its table replacement, and in later months, there's a discount on buying a new battery; say from 31-35 months you get 50% discount on new battery and the discount reduces as the months increased.
We found this one perfect and got this fitted for the ride. He gave 5% discount on MRP.
MRP: Rs 8935/-
Less 5% discount: ie 8935-446 = 8489/-
Less Old battery pay back: Rs 500/-
Total amount to be paid: 8489-500 = 7989/-
Amount we paid= 7800/-(rounded off!)
Shop's details: Naman Batteries; M.G.road; Panvel- 410206(RIGAD)
Now there is no problem while starting and there are no indicators blinking after the battery change. The car has bacame as good as new, and we are enjoying the ride much more than before; thanks to the new battery, service done and the DDiS engine
Some pics attached for reference.
