Warranty Information

This Limited Warranty is voided for batteries damaged due to abuse or neglect, including but not limited to the following:

• Battery hold-downs not appropriately used or not torqued per the Battery Council International Service Manual recommendations (Industry Standards), leading to excessive battery vibration or battery damage due to over-torque.
• Low electrolyte levels for batteries, which require maintenance.
• Accelerated corrosion/low electrolyte level due to exposure to excessive temperatures.
• Batteries that have been refilled with any substance besides distilled water that may have contaminated the battery.
• Batteries not maintained at a sufficient state of charge during periods of both in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle storage.

• Batteries that have been subjected to excessive out-of-vehicle charging or an uncontrolled in-vehicle charging system (i.e., faulty alternator).
• Batteries that have been physically damaged, including a cracked, punctured, or deformed battery case or cover; broken or severely damaged battery terminals.
• Batteries with damaged terminals due to loose, inadequate, or high-resistance connections.
• Batteries with loose or missing vents (non-sealed designs).
• Batteries that have been installed and operated in reverse in the vehicle, leading to reverse battery polarity.
• Improper battery box or insufficient protection from the elements (i.e., rain, snow, or ice).
• Batteries operated in an application not designed and/or marketed to support. Example: Standard SLI batteries that are used in cycling applications.

• This Limited Warranty only applies to batteries purchased from authorized CBS Battery retailers.
• CBS is not responsible for and will not be bound by any additional warranties retailers provide. It does not authorize anyone to make or assume any obligation or liability concerning its batteries.
• This Limited Warranty is not transferable and is only applicable to the original purchaser at retail.

NOTE: This Limited Warranty limits Continental Battery Systems responsibility to providing replacement as provided herein, and in no event shall Continental Battery Systems be liable for monetary damages or other losses arising from any battery defect or failure, including, but not limited to, for any loss of use, time or for any inconvenience or for any incidental or consequential damages.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE LENGTH OF THE APPLICABLE LIMITED WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

* If a Core Charge credit was included in the original purchase price you paid, you will need to return the battery to the original retailer to receive the amount of this credit.

** Proof of purchase includes a receipt, a credit card, or bank statement.

*** Other information, such as battery test results, pictures, or a battery label, may also be requested when making your claim.
