Question 5

What is the difference between DIN and BS battery standards?

Accepted Answer

DIN (IPzS) and BS (IPzB) are two international battery form factor standards. DIN cells are taller (~720mm) and narrower, while BS cells are shorter (~580mm) and wider. Your forklift manufacturer determines which standard you need — European brands typically use DIN, while Japanese brands often use BS.

Question 6

What is the difference between flooded and gel batteries?

Accepted Answer

Flooded batteries use liquid electrolyte and require regular water topping, but offer lower cost per cycle. Gel batteries use gelled electrolyte, are completely sealed and maintenance-free, produce no acid fumes, and are ideal for clean environments like food processing and pharmaceutical facilities.

Question 7

What is the Gen-X battery range?

Accepted Answer

Gen-X is Exide's next-generation traction battery that delivers 15% extra capacity compared to conventional batteries. It uses higher diameter gauntlets and a proprietary Red Lead + Grey Oxide formula for longer run times, faster recharging, and extended cycle life.

Question 8

What is the BCI range?

Accepted Answer

BCI (Battery Council International) range batteries are manufactured to American standards, specifically for imported material handling equipment from US brands like Crown, Hyster, and Yale. These are produced against specific customer demands.

Question 9

Which battery is best for food processing facilities?

Accepted Answer

CEIL Gel batteries are the recommended choice for food processing facilities. They are completely sealed, produce no acid fumes or spills, and meet FSSAI compliance requirements for equipment used near food products.

Question 10

Do you provide free battery installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide completely free professional installation with every battery purchase. Our trained technicians handle fitment, connector setup, initial charging, and operator training at no extra cost.

Question 11

Do you offer free battery testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer free battery testing and diagnostics for all battery brands. Our comprehensive assessment includes load testing, cell voltage measurement, specific gravity checks, and a written diagnostic report with recommendations.

Question 12

What is included in your AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract)?

Accepted Answer

Our AMC includes scheduled preventive maintenance visits, priority service response, battery health monitoring, complete documentation for audits, and most importantly — extends your warranty to 5 years full replacement coverage (vs. 2 years full + 3 years pro-rata without AMC).

Question 13

Do you offer emergency battery service?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer emergency service with rapid response for critical breakdowns. This includes temporary battery solutions, expedited repair and replacement, and 24/7 phone support for emergencies.

Question 14

Can you deliver batteries outside Hyderabad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide doorstep delivery anywhere in India. For the Telangana region, we offer same-day or next-day delivery. For other states, delivery typically takes 3-5 business days depending on location.

Question 15

What is the warranty on Exide industrial batteries?

Accepted Answer

Without AMC: 2 years full replacement warranty + 3 years pro-rata warranty. With AMC: 5 years full replacement warranty. The AMC warranty is significantly more valuable as it covers complete replacement at no cost for the full 5-year period.

Question 16

What voids the battery warranty?

Accepted Answer

Warranty may be voided by: using incorrect chargers, chronic under-watering (flooded types), operating beyond specified temperature limits, physical abuse/damage, unauthorized modifications, or using non-approved additives in the electrolyte.

Question 17

Do you accept old batteries for exchange?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have an old battery exchange program where you receive attractive credit towards your new Exide battery purchase. We handle safe removal, transport, and environmentally responsible recycling of old batteries.

Question 18

How often should I add water to my battery?

Accepted Answer

For flooded batteries, check water levels weekly and top up as needed with distilled or deionized water. Always add water after charging, never before. The electrolyte level should be approximately 15mm above the plate tops. Consider a Single Point Watering system to simplify this process.

Question 19

What is an equalizing charge and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

An equalizing charge is a controlled overcharge applied to balance voltage across all cells. Without it, cells become unbalanced — weak cells lose capacity permanently while strong cells get over-stressed. We recommend equalizing every 5-10 regular charge cycles.

Question 20

How long does a traction battery last?

Accepted Answer

A well-maintained Exide traction battery delivers 1500+ charge-discharge cycles at 80% depth of discharge, which translates to 5-7 years in typical single-shift operations. With AMC and proper maintenance, many batteries exceed this lifespan significantly.

Question 21

What charger should I use for my battery?

Accepted Answer

Use a charger matched to your battery's voltage and capacity. The charging current should be 14-18% of the battery's C5 capacity. For gel batteries, you must use a gel-specific charging profile — standard flooded chargers can damage gel batteries.

Question 22

Can I use my forklift while the battery is charging?

Accepted Answer

No, never operate a forklift connected to a charger. This practice, called opportunity charging, damages the battery by creating incomplete charge cycles. Always complete a full charge cycle before returning the battery to service.
