Advanced Battery Replacement Policy - Warranty Pending

Business Service Policy

_______________________________________________________

Why Use Advanced Battery Replacement?

Use Advanced Battery Replacement when downtime costs more than waiting for warranty testing. This business service provides immediate replacement batteries while warranty eligibility is determined.

_______________________________________________________

When This Service Applies

This policy applies when you request replacement batteries before warranty testing is completed.

If you prefer not to incur upfront charges, you may use the standard manufacturer warranty process, where batteries are tested prior to replacement.

How the Advanced Replacement Process Works

  1. You request Advanced Battery Replacement for batteries you believe are under warranty
  2. Replacement battery(ies) are issued prior to testing
  3. You are billed up front for the replacement battery(ies)
  4. Returned battery(ies) are provided to West Coast Batteries for testing
  5. Returned battery(ies) are tested using manufacturer-approved procedures
  6. We provide you with test results and a warranty determination
