All SABAT batteries come with a 25-month warranty that promises that each of our products is free of material and workmanship defects.
Maintaining your SABAT battery warranty for as long as possible is in your best interest. Also, most of the stipulated guidelines are general rules and maintenance tips that will extend your battery’s life.
So, here’s how you can keep your SABAT’s battery warranty valid for the full period:
Register Your Warranty
Arguably, the easiest step to keep your SABAT battery’s warranty valid for longer is registering it for a warranty. But it’s one step missed by many.
You can register your battery here.
Keep your proof of purchase (invoice or receipt), as it may be required for warranty claims.
Use the Battery for Its Intended Purpose
Your car’s battery is designed to perform a specific task, so do not use it for another purpose.
Also, always check that your battery is the correct type and size for your vehicle or application.
If you use an undersized or overpowered battery, your vehicle may struggle to start and perform tasks, potentially voiding your warranty.
Ensure that a professional installs the correct battery in your vehicle to avoid incorrect connections or damage.
These professionals will also ensure that terminals are clean, tight, and corrosion-free.
Regularly Check and Maintain the Battery
Regularly inspect the battery for damage, leaks, or corrosion to catch issues early.
These regular checks are usually done visually.
Keep the Battery Charged
If you’re not using your vehicle for a lengthy period, you might want to consider using a trickle charger or disconnecting the battery.
It’s always a good idea to avoid letting your car’s battery run flat or remain discharged for extended periods.
Drive Regularly
Even a new battery may struggle to hold a charge if you frequently drive short distances.
When doing short trips, it doesn’t always allow the battery to recharge fully, leading to a reduced lifespan.
Make sure to drive longer once in a while to ensure that the alternator can replenish the battery’s charge.
Avoid Overloading the Electrical System
Installing new aftermarket sound systems, lights, or other accessories in your vehicle is incredibly tempting. However, these high-powered aftermarket accessories can strain the battery and shorten its life.
When possible, always select manufacturer-approved modifications and accessories. If you can’t resist this urge, you might want to chat with an expert about installing more batteries to handle the new load.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Batteries are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Heat accelerates battery fluid evaporation and can cause internal damage, while extreme cold reduces battery efficiency.
Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a shaded area or garage to protect the battery.
By following these steps, you can prolong the life of your battery and ensure that your SABAT warranty remains valid for its full term.
