oyb: Agreed, I bought a Trane battery that is supposed to be a premium battery, it has not lasted one year. It has failed, there is no need to go back to the source, how I wish it was a Bosch, I know they have a presence in country. This is a premium brand name for which I paid a premium price for. The battery charger guy said, this Trane is not as it used to be before, it used to be as heavy to lift as a bag of cement or something approximate. Either they don't make them as they used to,or it was a cheap imitation from China, so please bring us Bosch batteries! I prefer the top of the line Bosch battery, I think it is called S6! 1 Like

AutoElectNG: If you bought it from a reputable outfit that offers a warranty then you will be good. I bought my original battery in Sept 2015, it came with a 3 years exchange warranty (ends Sept 2018) and then a 2 years prorated warranty. First-year (Oct 2016) the battery failed (a cell got loose), they swapped out the battery for free with a new one in 10 minutes. Yesterday July 2018 it failed again and I got another free exchange. If this fails before September then I will get another fresh battery. Apart from the inconvenience I have no complaints due to the warranty. I, EgunMogaji oko Habibatu Alake will never buy a $310 battery, as in hell will freeze over first 1 Like

My personal opinion... Not sure if batteries will be a good line to stock. I think Nigerians generally are not into premium batteries. Also consider the fact that batteries are perishable, having them sit on the shelf for long will increase your inventory costs and possibly lead to more warranty replacements. Maybe the auto guys in Lagos can comment on the willingness to pay for premium batteries. I could be wrong though. 1 Like |

Piyke: Things are starting to change. I will buy a premium battery especially one that comes with a warranty. I won't even deal with work that involves subpar batteries but I am targeting a different demographic of clientele. |

Piyke: i think it i more a case of poverty mentality - a lot of nigerian businessmen hustlers are a afraid of selling quality items because for them, long lasting goods are reduced sales. if i buy a bulb that lasts three years, that is money lost vs my buying bulb from you every 4 months. 1 Like |

radautoworks: 5 years is actually very popular Ma. But we have to be specific. The first 3 years is direct and free replacement, no questions asked. The last two years is still replacement but with a prorated charge. Interstate Batteries offer 4 years on some of their top line AGM stuff. 2 Likes

Impressive setup and amazing customer service! Got me a new accord PCV valve at the store this evening. @radautoworks, I believe it was you I spoke with on your staff phone. Thanks 4d Nairaland discount on the item. I also got the valve fixed for free (within 5mins) on request...you guys rock. Ma'am, you should look at automating your item prices in Naira and also invoicing in Naira. Naira remain the only legal tender in this country. 7 Likes |
