Your car battery is regarded as a consumable item, and these components sometimes only have a limited period of full warranty cover. This is certainly a detail worth checking when you first purchase the car, as manufacturers’ warranties can vary. What about extended warranties?
Solar battery warranties vary by manufacturer and product. A standard battery warranty should come with at least 10 years of protection, though it can be shorter depending on how often you charge and drain your battery.
If the battery isn’t functioning at its full capacity, its range will start to decrease, requiring the driver to recharge it more frequently. Without a car warranty, EV batteries are very expensive to repair or replace, so having battery coverage for long enough to cover most of a battery’s lifespan is imperative.
If your battery has a defect or mechanical issue, if it breaks, or experiences unreasonable wear and tear, that's where your product warranty comes into play. Nowadays, most manufacturers offer at least 10 years of coverage under a product warranty, while some premium options have up to 20 years of protection against product defects.
Battery warranties typically won't reimburse for labor costs associated with installing new equipment or shipping fees for new equipment. Comparisons should focus on product warranty terms, end of warranty capacity, labor warranty terms, and transferability. Based on our ranking system, SolaX Power has the strongest overall warranty.
