Re: Car battery life - How long did your battery last?

Stock Amaron 39Ah that came with my Tiago AMT lasted 4.5 years before showing signs of weak and no crank. Replaced with a 55Ah Amaron

Re: Car battery life - How long did your battery last?

Need some help in identifying an issue with my Tiago NRG. Car struggles to start in first crank after resting the car for 7+ hours. Now the car is 4.5 years old with 25.5K KM. Do you think this could be battery issue or the key switch connection issue? I am visiting Amaron battery shop over weekend to make sure the battery density is good/bad.
As per this thread I will ask them to put 55AH battery in case present battery is weak.

Hi All
Sometimes things last beyond expectation the Exide Dynex battery that was changed in 2017 lasted till August 14th, 2023. Tried charging it but it was not holding the charge for the last few days the battery would die even when the engine was off and we would keep the blower or fan running. plus added to that the car was not used as regularly as it was. hence changed the battery on Oct 2nd with Amaron FLO 72-month warranty for 3500/- including the exchange of the old battery, the new one was manufactured in Aug 2023 the MRP was 5000/-

Just wanted to keep everyone updated. The old battery has been better than the OEM battery and now waiting to see how long the amaron lasts. does it fulfill the promise as expected?

Regards

Re: Car battery life - How long did your battery last?

MY BMW 320D AGM Varta batteries are still performing flawlessly after completion of 8 years.There have been instances where I did not use the car for 2-3 weeks, but luckily did not face any starting issues.

I have a car digital voltmeter that shows 15V once the car starts and around 12 V when switched off.

Only downside is that Varta AGM batteries are expensive and need to budget around 30K for their replacement.

Has anyone used a Tesla battery for their car? What was the experience with the battery? I saw that it is available for the same price as Amaron at a local dealer for Swift Petrol (35 Ah)

Re: Car battery life - How long did your battery last?

I bought the Tata Nano Genx manual transmission in July 2015. I changed the stock battery today on 9 Dec 2023 after 8.5 years. I had not used the car for 2 months and had to jump start it today. I thought that I should get it changed anyway because its been 8.5 years already..haha.

Is this the longest a car battery has lasted on this forum? Car has run 39000kms in 8.5 years.

The stock Amaron battery on my 2004 Honda City GXi lasted for 13 years . The car is totally stock and runs 65-70 kms per month .

The Amaron battery on my 1996 Maruti 800 lasted for 12 years . The car is also stock and runs 25-30 kms everyday .
