Warranty Policy
Warranty
Submit a warranty claim if you received product that was damaged, has a manufacturing defect, or experienced an unexpected failure within the warranty period. After your claim has been approved and the product sent back, it will be repaired or replaced.
Returns
Request a return if you ordered the wrong part number, ordered the wrong quantity, the part doesn’t fit your application, or your equipment needs replacing instead of the battery. After your return is approved, you send the product back for a refund. Depending on the reason for return there is a 20% restocking fee applied.
Warranty Terms
The warranty period begins from the date of shipment from Battery Store, Inc.
Battery Store, Inc. honors and administers the manufacturers warranty for all products that are sold in the manufacturers configuration, i.e. individual batteries and chargers. The warranty period is typically 12, 24 or 36 months, and products with a longer/shorter warranty period will be specified on the website and/or with the product documentation. If multiple batteries are used in a system, the warranty only covers the defective battery and not the entire system. Proprietary products manufactured and sold as a Battery Store, Inc. item carry a one year warranty against defects in material and workmanship unless explicitly noted within the product description/details on this website or included documentation shipped with the product.
Under the warranty period our obligation will be limited to the repair or replacement of the defective product. Such repair or replacement will be made only after our examination determines that said product is defective in material and/or workmanship. This warranty is void if the product has been repaired or altered in any way as to affect its use and/or operation as determined by Battery Store, Inc. The warranty is also void if the product has been subject to, though not limited to, abuse, misuse, negligence, insufficient charging, over charging, improper storage or physical damage.
The customer is responsible for return shipping of any defective product. All warranty claims are voltage tested upon arrival and thoroughly tested using an analyzer to measure the capacity. Any 12V battery measuring less than 10V (or 6V measuring less than 5V) is considered abused due to lack of charge and is not considered a warranty issue. Battery life is based on the number of discharge/recharge cycles and the depth of discharges, not on age. A worn out battery from repeated cycles is normal wear and tear and not covered in the warranty even if failure has occurred within one year.
Should the battery fail due to a manufacturing defect, we will ship a replacement battery at no additional charge. Battery Store, Inc. will ship the replacement product via ground service on it’s carrier of choice.
