Warranty Details
12-Year Repair/Replacement Warranty Coverage Details: BigBattery, Inc. warrants the covered product to be free of all defects in material and workmanship for 12 years from the auto-registered date of purchase. This Warranty extends to the original buyer for 12 years.
All BigBattery batteries are designed to operate for a minimum of 12 years and require zero maintenance. Some BigBattery batteries can last up to 22 years depending on the model, use case, and environmental variables.
BigBattery batteries are also guaranteed to maintain a reasonable amount of capacity based on the time in service (see exclusion for details on limits). In the case of a diminished capacity claim, the customer has the option to return the battery to BigBattery for capacity testing. The battery will undergo comprehensive bench testing to resolve the claim, and a relevant full-cycle test report will be provided to the customer. If the customer is deemed correct and the battery is diminished beyond the limits specified in the exclusion section, then the battery will be eligible for warranty resolution. The customer will not be responsible for the costs associated with testing, regardless of the test results.
Within our 12-Year Warranty, we will repair or replace, free of charge, any part proving defective in material or workmanship. All warranty repairs and service must be performed by an authorized technician or at an authorized service facility unless directed otherwise in writing by Hiko Technical Services LLC and our Partners.
For the first year, the expenses related to returning and repairing a defective part within the Continental US are assumed by Hiko Technical Services LLC and our Partners which include pickup, return shipping, repair, replacement, and final shipping. This Warranty does not assume responsibility for disconnection, service interruption, or re-packing expenses per said return shipment. Customers with international warranty claims will need to cover the cost of shipping.
