Motabitz Battery Guarantee Coverage: Our battery guarantee covers the replacement of a defective battery if found to have faults due to manufacturing or material defects within the warranty period. Batteries will be tested using a Yuasa-approved tester; the test result is final. The guarantee period starts from the date of purchase, and any replacement battery will carry the remaining warranty period from the original purchase date. This guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights.

For batteries with a warranty exceeding one year, our policy allows one discretionary exchange within the first six months from purchase if necessary, even if the battery is not deemed faulty. Replacement under warranty does not extend the original warranty period.

Warranty Exclusions: The replacement guarantee does not cover issues arising from:

• Accidental damage
• Electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle
• Improper installation by anyone other than Motabitz
• Use in a vehicle other than that identified on the original receipt
• Vehicles that travel less than 2,500 miles per year

Additional Conditions & Exclusions for Yuasa Batteries: Yuasa batteries are guaranteed solely against premature failure due to manufacturing or material defects. The following are not covered:

• Sulphation: Occurs if a battery remains in a discharged state (<12.40V) for extended periods, due to factors like a faulty vehicle charging system, parasitic drains, infrequent use, or long-term storage. Sulphation impairs battery performance and shortens its lifespan.
• Wear and Tear: The natural degradation of battery components over time, leading to a gradual loss of performance.
• Deep Cycling: Excessive loss of battery capacity due to repeated deep discharges (<65% state of charge) followed by rapid recharges.
• Overcharging: Caused by a malfunctioning charging system that results in battery overheating, electrolyte evaporation, and deterioration of plate material.
• Incorrect Application: Using a battery with insufficient capacity for the vehicle. Always consult the Yuasa application list for proper battery selection.
• Physical Damage: Damage occurring from improper storage, handling, or incorrect installation.

By following these guidelines and ensuring proper battery maintenance, you can maximize the life and performance of your battery. If you have any questions about warranty coverage or battery care, please reach out to us at Motabitz.
