About Exide batteries
Two separate companies use the Exide name. Exide Group (formerly Exide Technologies) sells in Europe and many other markets. Exide Industries is a separate Indian company. Both are sold in the UAE, and the ranges are different.
We check which Exide battery is right for your car by size, capacity and technology, fit it where your car is parked and take the old battery away.

FAQ
Exide batteries: common questions
What is the price of an Exide car battery in Dubai?
It depends on the size and type your car needs. Send your make, model and year and we give you the fitted price for the right Exide battery before we come. The price includes fitting, a battery and charging test and taking the old battery away.
What warranty does an Exide battery have?
Warranty depends on the exact Exide battery and is set by the UAE distributor. We confirm it with your quote and write it on your invoice. It covers manufacturing faults, not a battery drained by lights left on or a charging fault.
Is Exide good for start-stop cars?
Yes, if you choose the Exide EFB or AGM battery that matches what your car came with. A standard Exide is not suitable for a start-stop car.
Is Exide from India or Europe?
Both. Exide Group is a European company; Exide Industries is an Indian company. They are not the same business. We confirm which one we are fitting.
