Warranty

VMAXTANKS are known for their long-life span ranging from 8 to 10 years in float service applications. Many factors can play a big part on the actual life span of deep cycle batteries.
The main factors are the Depths of Discharge and their frequency.
Nature of use, temperature, storage conditions and charging procedure are among other factors that can prolong or shorten their life span.

Since VMAX batteries are designed to be used in tough applications demanding frequent Deep Depths of Discharge, they are warranted for 12 months from date of purchase to original customers against defects and workmanship.

Within this Period, defective batteries due to manufacturer defect must be returned to the VMAX Authorized Dealer where the product was purchased from warranty claim.

Beyond the first 12 months of Free Replacement Period, VMAX Lithium Batteries warranty is extended for up to 5 years based on the following uses:

Before You File A Warranty Claim:

Since all VMAXTANKS are inspected before shipping, please follow the following steps before filing a warranty claim:

1- Check your charger, controller or panels and make sure they meet required current and/or wattage specifications listed in the "Description" page of each battery. If it does not, please replace or upgrade charging method.

2- If it does, measure output voltage of your charger or controller to make sure that it is in good working condition (14.4V-14.9V). If it does not, please replace.

3- Charge battery for 15 hours. Disconnect charger and measure battery voltage. Voltage should measure over 13.3V then will drop to 12.95V-13V after couple of hours of disconnecting charger.

4- If it does, apply appropriate load for 5 minutes (or use load tester -if available). Disconnect and measure voltage after 5 minutes. If voltage is less than 12.7V, please file your claim. If not, check your load, cables and/or inverter.
