Things to take care while buying a battery (Exide Guide)

 Friends

Always buy best battery and don't consider 200-300 bucks. At present, Exide is best in business. At times, sellers/shopkeepers might say SF Sonic is also from Exide. It could be but why to buy this if we can buy Exide. Those extra 200-300 rupees will be a small thing now but in longer turn it will help you a lot.

First things first,

1) how to verify if its a original battery from Exide and not a fake one. Locate Serial no of battery on the package or top of battery itself. Either you can call Exide Customer care or check yourself on 

ExideCare.com or https://www.exidecare.com/



This is a real time sample, batteries I bought.

2) Please refer below image

a) D = April, 6 = 2016

b) 309947 is actual number

c) A = Automobile , M = Motorcycle as you can see in my above screenshot


3) Now most important part => 

Never ever buy a battery older than 3 months (i.e. Manufacturing Month + 2 months). Reason is it is old and was lying for a long time in their stock. 

You will not get Paperless warranty. I learnt it hard way.


4) Always register your battery asap post buying. Many a times, seller will do it for you. But why to risk, do it yourself

5) This website ExideCare have lots of other info on battery care as well. Do read, if you are an enthusiast. 

Feel free to contact me if you need help.

Thanks

Talk to HDFC Customer Care executive from IVRS

Dear friends

India is already very bad in after-sales-services and it is getting degraded with each passing day. It was super easy to get refunds and return from Flipkart and Amazon if we were not happy with product. but now they have closed that. It has become super difficult now. Yeah many of us abused it and took it for granted.

With invent of BOTS now it is super difficult to talk to real person and let know our problems. HDFC customer care no = (City Code)-6160-6161, for ex bangalore 080-6160-6161 has only IVRS options. At no point there is an option to connect to a live person.

Solution : While entering options just enter any wrong data. Like wrong pin or wrong credit card pin and you will re-directed to talk to a live customer care executive. Yes a human being. That's the trick.

Note : Customer grievance had suggested to dial 080-6160-6161 + options 3, 1 + Credit Card No + 2, 4, 1 for EMI preclosure on credit card.

Fake it, until you make it ..

Some are born geniuses and then there are rest of us, the strugglers. We are not born intelligent, we have to fight our demons, each and every time, the hard way. So be it. Struggle, study, practice, repeat.

Hard work is the way forward. And keep faking, until we make it.
Good day :)

Thought of the day

Make peace with with yourself. You are not a machine. Neither are your family-members. Everyone needs rest, a little of free-time and me-time. Don't beat yourself up. Don't put your foot in so many boats at once. Don't try to learn too many things at a single time. You are already pushing yourself too hard. What you already are doing, not many are doing.
Be always competitive.

Note : I generally don't like using word you but at times it becomes necessary.
