Battery Warranty
CENTRIC® LIMITED WARRANTY CONSUMER DOCUMENT 2018
Centric Technologies takes immense pride in the quality of the batteries it manufactures, offering a comprehensive limited warranty program for many of its batteries. The warranty program comprises two key components: FREE REPLACEMENT and PRO-RATA. Please note that Centric discontinued the 1-year warranty/unlimited miles on batteries built or after 12/31/2016 (over 14,000 Miles per year is considered Commercial use – see below for Commercial).
Key Warranty Components:
- FREE REPLACEMENT: Covers a specified period.
- PRO-RATA: Applicable after the free replacement period until the end of the total limited warranty.
Important Points:
- Centric specifies the total number of months covered by the free replacement period on the invoice.
- Refer to the Pro-Rata schedule to determine the Pro-Rata period for your Centric battery.
- If your battery is not on the Pro-Rata limited warranty schedule, it is eligible only for the free replacement period.
- The Pro-Rata period applies after the free replacement period expires until the end of the total limited warranty.
Warranty Responsibilities:
- Centric’s responsibility is limited to providing a replacement battery or a Pro-Rata purchase price for defects in materials or workmanship, under the terms specified.
Warranty Exclusions:
- Warranty is reduced by 50% for Auto/Truck/SUV and Marine/RV batteries if used in a commercial application.
- Exclusions include batteries damaged due to abuse or neglect, detailed comprehensively.
Battery Failure Troubleshooting Steps:
- Determine if the small battery (auxiliary) needs a boost or replacement.
- If the battery is under the free replacement period, it can be repaired at Centric Auto Repair at no charge.
- If outside the free replacement period, check if the battery is eligible for the Pro-Rata program.
Additional Information:
- Warranty law varies by state, and additional legal rights may apply depending on state laws.
- Proof of purchase (original receipt) is required for the free replacement warranty.
- Non-transferable limited warranty.
Calculating Replacement Cost during Pro-Rata Period:
- Look up the Original Invoice Total Paid.
- Calculate the replacement battery cost by multiplying the Warranty Cost per month by the number of months in service.
Example Calculation: In this example, a Centric Select 36 Month rebuilt battery with a Suggested Retail Price of $1600 was in service for 16 months. The replacement battery cost to the consumer is calculated as follows: $44.44 warranty cost per month x 13 months in service = $572.
