Ather currently offers four e-scooter variants to its customers. Based on my research, the price of a battery starts at ₹50,000 for a 2.9 kWh battery and goes up to ₹78,000 for a 3.7 kWh battery.
Ather e-scooters are popular for their sporty look, so it’s no surprise that people between 18 and 35 prefer them. The market share of Ather scooters in India is about 12%-15%, which is quite good.

What is the procedure to change the Ather battery?
Visit the nearby store of Ather E-scooters and tell them your problem regarding the battery, or you can contact them from their official contact page.
It might take 5-7 days if you belong to a tier-II or tier-III city because Ather has not opened its service centers in small cities and towns.
They might ask you for some money in advance for booking the replacement battery. Then once it arrives, they will change it in 2-3 hours.
Make sure you do not open the battery on your own; replace it with a duplicate one. Also, buy the battery from the dealership or service center. While I was researching, I saw that many third-party websites have listed the Ather 450 battery for sale. Don’t buy it from there.
