Common doubts
What drivers ask us most
I can find a cheaper battery in the market. Why buy here?
A lower price is fine, as long as you know why it is lower. Check who made the cells, who gives the warranty and where you go if it fails. A battery that stops after a few months with nobody to call costs far more than it saved.
How do I know it is really a CLN battery?
CLN Power Mart sells only batteries made in CLN Energy’s own plant in Noida. We do not rebrand or resell other companies’ batteries.
How long is the warranty, and who gives it?
CLN Energy gives a 36-month warranty on its e-mobility battery packs, direct from the manufacturer. For a claim, speak to your nearest hub or write to us.
Where do I go if the battery has a problem?
To your nearest CLN hub or dealer. Technicians there are trained by the maker and backed by CLN Energy’s technical team. We are starting in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, so ask where your nearest hub is before you buy.
Who do I pay the EMI to?
The NBFC partner. They give the loan, set its terms and collect the EMI. CLN Power Mart does not lend. We sell the battery and connect you to the NBFC partner.
Can I buy without the full amount?
Yes, if your loan is approved. You pay a small down payment and repay the rest in instalments, as per the NBFC partner’s plan.
From anyone, not just us
Five questions to ask before you buy
Who made this battery?
Ask for the name and address of the company that made it.
Is the warranty in writing?
Get the length of the warranty, and which company gives it, in writing.
Where do I go if it fails?
Find out where service is available in your area before you pay.
How old is the stock?
Ask when the battery was made. Be careful with batteries that have sat for a long time.
What will I repay in total?
Do not look at the EMI alone. Ask the lender for the total you will repay, with interest.
