Exide Technologies has the monopoly in India, meanwhile, in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, Exide Industries is the only provider of exide batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Exide brand began as two separate companies and eventually joined together to distribute power supplies worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting as the Electric Storage Battery Company, W. W. Gibbs created the manufacturing business for the transportation industry. Since 1900, its products bore the name Exide, short for \u201cexcellent oxide.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company strove to create <a href=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/battery\/how-much-does-a-car-battery-weigh\/\">lightweight car batteries<\/a> for taxis, submarines, and automobiles. Lead-acid batteries are Exide\u2019s specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, separately in India in 1947, Exide Industries began in Kolkata. The two battery companies with the same name clashed for the right to distribute in the Middle East, but the local company won. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, both the US\u2019s Exide Technologies and Exide Industries create and sell automotive batteries worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand is one of the world\u2019s most prominent lead battery recyclers, opening several repurposing plants throughout its history. Today, Exide Industries continues to create and distribute while the US company rests under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterysystems.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Battery Systems, Inc<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Brand_Batteries_Are_Made_By_Exide\"><\/span><a><\/a>What Brand Batteries Are Made By Exide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide owns several brands worldwide through which it distributes automotive products. CEIL, Dynex, and SF Batteries are three of its most widely known subsidiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>CEIL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceilbatterysystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CEIL<\/a> is Exide\u2019s premier battery brand in Singapore. The brand makes traction batteries, standby batteries, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), and heavier automotive products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEIL\u2019s products are perfect for areas in Singapore with unstable power or high natural disaster susceptibility. Singapore Power, China Light &amp; Power, and other suppliers rely on the brand\u2019s products for renewable energy even during uncertain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Dynex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynexbattery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dynex<\/a> is Exide\u2019s most prominent brand in India. The brand creates batteries for everyday automobiles and special motorsport vehicles like three-wheelers. Vowing to make products to maintain India\u2019s transportation and agricultural networks, Dynex also makes power supplies for tractors and e-rickshaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynex\u2019s tubular inverter batteries are like CEIL\u2019s in that their designs combat inconsistent voltage. The rugged plates persevere through extended power outages, making them excellent for powering home UPS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>SF Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfbatteries.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SF Batteries<\/a> is another of Exide\u2019s brands distributing throughout India. The company focuses on automotive and inverter batteries for many transportation mediums like buses, trucks, and e-rickshaws. The brand makes sure to present options for every 4-wheeled vehicle whether it takes diesel or petrol. SF has several choices for home UPS uses as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SF offers its customers generous warranties passing five years on many of its products. Each high-performance automotive battery seeks to extend the upper threshold of speed and utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Who-Makes-Exide-Batteries-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Who Makes Exide Batteries in 2022\" class=\"wp-image-3142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Who-Makes-Exide-Batteries-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Who-Makes-Exide-Batteries-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Who-Makes-Exide-Batteries-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Who-Makes-Exide-Batteries-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Who-Makes-Exide-Batteries.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Makes_Exide_Brand_Batteries_Now\"><\/span><a><\/a>Who Makes Exide Brand Batteries Now?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2019, Battery Systems acquired the US Exide. The parent company now creates and distributes Exide products to suppliers throughout North America, Canada, and the Caribbean. Their offerings include automotive, marine, and commercial batteries. Battery Systems won the legal right to be the brand\u2019s sole distributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, Exide creates batteries under its brand name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Are_Exide_Batteries_Made\"><\/span><a><\/a>Where Are Exide Batteries Made?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide Industries in India has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exideindustries.com\/about\/manufacturing-facilities.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nine factories<\/a> spread across Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, and Uttarakhand. From there, the brand produces and distributes motor supplies and home USPs. They also manufacture submarine batteries for the Indian Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide Industries automotive batteries travel from India to over 45 countries on five continents, including Canada, Japan, Spain, and Kenya. The brand\u2019s industrial power supplies ship to over 30 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide Technologies in the US has manufacturing sites in North America, the Pacific Rim, Australia, and Europe. The brand set up lead-acid recycling centers across the United States, but few remain open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Are Exide Batteries Made in China?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither Exide Industries nor Exide Technologies have battery plants in China. However, the raw materials for crafting the power supplies may come from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Are Exide Batteries Made in the USA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide Technologies has several manufacturing and distribution plants in the United States. The company liquidized most of them and the remaining sites are managed by Battery Systems, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Is_the_Owner_of_Exide_Batteries\"><\/span><a><\/a>Who Is the Owner of Exide Batteries?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Battery Systems owns Exide Technologies in the United States. The company is the sole distributor of Exide power supplies in America. Brad Streelman is the current owner of Battery Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide Industries in India owns itself. Subir Chakraborty is the company\u2019s current CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exide_Batteries_Prices\"><\/span><a><\/a>Exide Batteries Prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide Technologies automotive batteries cost between $350 and $380 each in US markets. Its Marathon series has a higher selling point than its Sprint selection. Exide\u2019s marine batteries have a comparable price, but its motorcycle power supplies cost about $320 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s Exide Industries batteries are purchasable only with <a href=\"https:\/\/dir.indiamart.com\/impcat\/exide-inverter-batteries.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rupees<\/a>. A typical product ranges between 7500 and 13,000 rupees, or about 90 to 170 US dollars. They are far cheaper than the United States products, although they are harder to acquire in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Sells_Exide_Batteries_in_the_United_States\"><\/span><a><\/a>Who Sells Exide Batteries in the United States?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stores like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/c\/kp\/exide-batteries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walmart<\/a> and Amazon sell Exide automotive and sports batteries in the US. Independently owned stores like <a href=\"https:\/\/frsport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FR Sport<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmsupply.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">L&amp;M Fleet Supply<\/a> also stock Exide products. You can find them in retailers dedicated to motorsports equipment, boating, and golf cart parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Batteries_From_Exide_Good\"><\/span><a><\/a>Are Batteries From Exide Good?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide batteries in India and the United States have long legacies and fairly good reputations. In the case of the American company, pollution from recycling efforts sullies the company name, although its products work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Exide Technologies products, many competitors create replacements. Customers who desire to customize their motorbikes, golf carts, boats, cars, and other equipment often discard the default Exide batteries. Among enthusiasts, the brand\u2019s products are good, but not great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, Exide Industries batteries are a trusted name because they are affordable and longstanding. Among its competitors, the brand stands out for its financial success and quality engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exide_Batteries_Alternatives\"><\/span><a><\/a>Exide Batteries Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some Exide battery alternatives in the US and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Alternative 1: Interstate Batteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interstatebatteries.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interstate Batteries<\/a> is a brand with a reputation for dependability. It is one of the best power supply distributors among car customizers. Interstate Batteries sell products with low price points and high warranties, custom-tailored to your specific vehicle. Interstate Batteries has locations throughout the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Alternative 2: Numax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobat.tech\/brands\/numax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Numax<\/a> is a close competitor to Exide batteries in India and the UK. Numax\u2019s three-tiered batteries meet the demands of modern technology. The company\u2019s formula is relatively new, letting it stand out on the market as a counterpart to the tried-and-true Exide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Alternative 3: Duracell Ultra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/driveduracell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Duracell<\/a> is a popular household battery brand throughout the United States, and it produces automotive power supplies. With a primary focus on AGM products, Duracell ships worldwide. The prices are higher than its competitors due to its trusted name and reputation for durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><a><\/a>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know about both groups of Exide batteries, let\u2019s address some frequently asked questions about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Does Wal-Mart sell Exide batteries?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Wal-Mart sells batteries from Exide Technologies. They are available online and in stores in the auto parts area. The prices are comparable to Amazon and other distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Does AutoZone sell Exide batteries?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/battery\/does-autozone-take-old-batteries\/\">AutoZone<\/a> does not sell Exide batteries. This is likely because of distribution restrictions after Battery Systems acquired the company in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>How long do Exide batteries last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exide batteries typically come with warranties of between two and four years. They last for about four years before encountering problems, but if you\u2019re lucky, an Exide battery will run for six years flawlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><a><\/a>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Exide Technologies and Exide Industries service their respective regions well by providing high-powered auto batteries.
