Exide and Amaron are India's two most popular car battery brands, and both are fitted as original equipment by many car makers. So which one should you pick?
What they have in common
- Both make maintenance-free car batteries for every popular car in India.
- Both offer warranties that depend on the model you choose.
- Both have wide service networks across India.
Where they differ
- Range: Exide sells car batteries under ranges such as Mileage, Matrix and Epiq; Amaron under Go, Pro and Hi-Life. Higher ranges usually come with longer warranties.
- Price: prices vary by model and capacity, and are often close for the same car – compare the warranty you get for the price.
- Availability: for some cars one brand has the exact size in stock more often than the other.
What actually matters more than the brand
- The right capacity (Ah) and cranking power for your engine – diesel cars need more.
- The right physical size and terminal layout so the battery sits securely and the cables reach.
- A fresh battery – check the manufacturing date; a battery that has sat in a shop for months has already lost life.
- Proper installation – tight terminals and a charging-system check.
