Ather Scooter Battery Life
ATHER 450X Battery Replacement Cost?
Accurately determining the battery replacement cost for various Ather electric scooters can be challenging due to the variability in prices. The battery pack is manufactured in-house by Ather, and the replacement cost for the Ather 450X battery is approximately ₹60,000.
Battery Warranty on ATHER’s Electric Scooter
All Ather scooters come with a standard warranty of 3 years or 30,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This warranty covers all vehicle parts, excluding wear and tear items. For added protection, Ather offers a specialized battery plan called Ather Battery Protect.
This comprehensive 5-year warranty plan extends the manufacturer’s battery warranty from 3 years to 5 years, or 60,000 kilometers, providing complete peace of mind. Ather Battery Protect is included with the Ather 450X when you upgrade to Pro and cannot be purchased separately.
The plan guarantees that the battery will maintain at least a 70% state of health (SoH) until the end of the 5th year; otherwise, the battery will be replaced.
Ather Battery Protect covers any defects related to the battery, including issues with the cells, electrical components, electronics, or the Battery Management System (BMS). However, damages caused by customer negligence, except for deep discharge of battery cells due to prolonged idleness, are not covered.
Additionally, any modifications or alterations to the battery will void the warranty. If the scooter is sold, the Ather Battery Protect policy will transfer to the new owner, ensuring continued coverage.
