U.S. Battery Limited Liability Warranty

U.S. Battery Manufacturing Company guarantees its products to be free of any manufacturing defects for a period of 12 months. This Limited Liability Warranty only covers defects in material and workmanship and is subject to the exclusions listed below. The free one-year replacement period begins at date indicated on the terminal of the battery. No labor or transportation expenses are included in this limited warranty (US 1800 and all “E” line batteries carry a reduced six-month free replacement period). This Limited Liability Warranty is limited to the original purchaser of the battery, and is not transferable to any other person or entity.

Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose shall be void and excluded subsequent to 12 months from the date of purchase (as identified on the terminal of the battery). The replacement of the battery is the exclusive remedy under this written warranty or any implied warranty. U.S. Battery Manufacturing Company makes no other representation or warranty of any kind, and no representative, employee, distributor or dealer has the authority to make or imply any representation, promise, or agreement, which in any way varies the terms of this limited warranty. All batteries being submitted for warranty must be returned to the place of purchase for testing and evaluation. Proof of purchase will be required.

If your U.S. Battery authorized Distributor offers extended or additional warranties other than those listed in this document, U.S. Battery accepts no responsibility and you should contact your distributor for any warranty claims.

Onsite evaluation service may be available in most locations at an additional charge. Service charges will vary from location to location, distance traveled and number of batteries involved. Contact your local U.S. Battery Distributor for more information.
