Battery warranty?

Whenarewethere · Guru

My neighbour had a very long argument with Honda about their badge engineered batteries due to the shit battery put in his by now 18 month old car. I lent him a badge engineered Land Rover battery and spare jumper leads which started his car every time.

At the end of the day with endless haggling, and my neighbour knows how to haggle, all he got was the pro-rata age of the pathetic 47AH battery they shoved it the car. So in other words two thirds of fuck all.

Don't expect much recourse, life is too short, as their aim is to grind you down, even the best of complainants.

Purchased an AGM Battery that was tired after 16 months, rang to enquire about warranty, was asked whether it was a Cranking Battery or AGM was told.... Cranking batteries have a 3 year warranty and AGM's only 12 months was given various reason for the low AGM warranty ( cannot remember)

I had one an Australian, wholly owned and manufactured here, AGM, 105 amp, lasted 2.5 years, they said no warranty, same company, car battery, 2yrs 1month old told me to get stuffed, I still have the car battery, it has a dead cell, but still got full charge, they said, it is one month out of warranty, so they wouldn't warrant it, so will never buy Aussie made batteries again, unless they can guarantee their warranty. Predominately all their batteries are rubbish.

Had a cranking battery replaced under warranty, no problems, the new one had the date of the original stamped on it. Thats fine, its four years old now and has done a lap and a half, starting a 6.5L diesel. Owes me nothing.
