Demystifying Warranties: What Your 10-Year Battery Coverage
A common offering is the 10-year battery warranty, which can lead to confusion regarding what it actually covers and how it benefits consumers. Let''s break down the details of these
Battery warranties protect against defects and performance drops, typically covering 3-10 years. They often include capacity retention thresholds (e.g., 70% after 8 years) and pro-rated terms. Exclusions include physical damage, improper use, or unauthorized modifications.
Battery warranties typically won't reimburse for labor costs associated with installing new equipment or shipping fees for new equipment. Comparisons should focus on product warranty terms, end of warranty capacity, labor warranty terms, and transferability. Based on our ranking system, SolaX Power has the strongest overall warranty.
Also known as a materials warranty, a battery's product warranty covers the integrity of the equipment itself. If your battery has a defect or mechanical issue, if it breaks, or experiences unreasonable wear and tear, that's where your product warranty comes into play.
Most warranties exclude damage from accidents, water exposure, extreme temperatures, or use with non-certified chargers. Samsung's battery policies void coverage if discharged below 20% regularly. Thermal runaway events in lithium-ion batteries are rarely covered. Documentation of proper maintenance is crucial for claims.
