Understanding Your 24-Month Battery Warranty
A 24-month warranty gives you great peace of mind, but it's important to know what it covers. A warranty covers manufacturing defects, not external failures.
We see customers every day who have voided their warranty without knowing it. Here’s how to protect yourself.
What a Warranty Covers
It covers a fault in the battery itself. This could be a dead cell from the factory, an internal short-circuit, or a case leak that wasn't caused by impact.
The 3 Big Ways to Void Your Warranty
- A Faulty Alternator: If your alternator is overcharging ("cooking") or undercharging ("sulfating") the battery, the battery will fail. This is not a battery defect, and it is not covered.
- Incorrect Application: This is the most common. If you put a standard "wet" battery in a car that requires an AGM (like a BMW or Ford Ranger), the car's system will destroy it. The warranty is instantly void.
- Deep Cycling: Using a car battery in a load shedding inverter or for camping. Starting batteries are not designed for this, and it will kill them.
