i have register with customer care on November 1st week itself for charger , they said by nonmember end will get the stocks , this week i called up again they say now December end .
so this how Ather works - i really do not know why mismatch which already raise the issue in above reply
dear abhishek there is reply from twitter handle of Ather kindly read this "**
Not all owners choose to purchase a portable charger with their Ather. Hence, we take certain decisions for production of accessories basis the demand at the time and expected demand in the future.
you to agree
There are already a lot of people who’ve requested for it and the team is fulfilling them as we get stock
so there is lot of production mismatch or fear of dead stocks in Ather of not going to be sold
I have got one, using it to charge at office and outside the city. You must buy a 15 AMP to 5 AMP converter to charge anywhere. The charging time is same as DOT I feel. But its very heavy and it occupies most of the boot space in my vehicle.
If you actually see the portable charger directly you will not feel like buying it but if you go outstation frequently or if your workplace has charging facility for E-vehicles then you can think of buy it.
yes email came @ 5.04 pm today , C.C even called they have sent the link and payment done @ 5.16 pm today.
wishing even my other ather riders in chennai get the payment link quickly as chennai requires lot
my payment link came as well at 5 pm yesterday but it showed the payment is already done, also i requested a new link , at 8 a new link came i paid it at that time , now just awaiting from CC to give the time to collect it

Version 1.0 with my half face helmet in the boot
I also have space to keep a rain coat, a cloth jacket, a small mask in this (not in picture). I can replace this helmet with a full face one.
I think you should call them up. Because in Bangalore you can collect it anytime after you’ve completed the payment. Since it’ll be at the ather space and they just need confirmation of the payment.
Jus called C.C , they say some update for consumer friendly in A.P.C , after 7 working days it will be available for pick up & they will call once it ready to pick up from space
Hey Abhishek, the user manual for the portable charger says I shouldn’t use an extension cord to power the portable charger. But more often than not, an extension cord will be necessary to charge, during long rides or even when charging elsewhere apart from home. What do you recommend we do?
Also, does @Abhishek@rajeshkav@hemanth.anand or anyone else recommend a good extension cord to charge the vehicle with the portable charger?
