BATTERY WARRANTY & RETURNS
Better Battery Tyres stands behind every battery we sell.
Our pro-rata warranty policy is one of the fairest in South Africa.
WARRANTY PERIODS:
- Osaka batteries — 6 months
- Exide Eco batteries — 12 months
- Willard batteries — 24 months (coming soon)
- Sabat batteries — 24 months (coming soon)
HOW OUR PRO-RATA POLICY WORKS:
If your battery fails within the warranty period, we calculate
a fair refund based on actual usage time.
Formula: Refund = Purchase price × (Months remaining ÷ Total warranty months)
Example: Battery purchased at R1,150 with 12-month warranty
fails at month 8. Months remaining = 4.
Refund = R1,150 × (4÷12) = R383 cash back or store credit.
You choose: cash refund or store credit toward your next purchase.
HOW TO CLAIM:
1. WhatsApp us on 063 500 1740 with your order number and
a description of the fault
2. Bring the battery to 140 Modderfontein Rd, Tembisa
for assessment
3. We assess within 24 hours and process your refund or
replacement immediately
EXCLUSIONS:
