Car Battery Warranty
If ever you find any defects within your newly purchased car battery or find that it doesn’t work at all, then it is important to know that your purchases are protected by a nationwide warranty guided by the Australian Consumer Law.
SW Batteries covers all warranties due to manufacturing faults within the specified warranty period. This is generally an internal short circuit or dead cell, caused by contact between the positive and negative plates.
The length of your car battery’s warranty can vary depending on each manufacturer. There are different ranges, battery types, and applications that will determine the warranty period.

Each company has specific guidelines that state what is covered and what is not, and it is best to discuss these in detail with SW Batteries in order to be fully aware of such conditions. But here are the more common reasons that your manufacturer could deny your warranty.
