is it true that optima will not warranty the battery bought thru amazon//per mr. austin?

Optima batteries can be replaced under warranty at any store that sells them.

It's not Optima's warranty that is the problem, but the reseller. Amazon should be happy help you out. Otherwise, contact Optima directly for assistance.

Check with Optima. They tell you to take the battery back to where you bought it. Amazon will not take this back if it fails after a year. So that makes the 3 year warranty pretty much useless. But don't take my word for it. Check with Optima. You've been warned.

When I contacted Optima, they said Amazon is not an authorized dealer and therefore the warranty is void.

I went on the optima site and it says that there is a 24 month replacement warranty on the battery for a normal application. For other applications the warranty varies. I have owned this type of battery for at least six years and have not had one fail yet. I started with 2 and now added the third one to my boat to replace another brand that I had nothing but problems with. But if you want to verify just go to the optima website to view the warranty.

Their is a 1" dia., round date sticker on the battery showing the month and year.Places like Auto Zone remove the stickers so they can sell shelf weary stock.Never buy one with no date sticker.We buy directly from Optima to insure we get fresh batteries.Optima quality has dropped since they moved the factory to Mexico.

Allan, I really don`t know. Therefore, I believe that Amazon is co-responsable for seller indication. The seller must keep a warranty if it is not covered by the factory.

Bought the same battery, had the same story. Don't start doing tricks, or watching youtube videos. Go to a bigger electronics shop and order it. Amazon batteries just don't work.

I bought and installed this battery. It is to the original battery and so far works like it's supposed to. Don't know about a warranty. I didn't read any of the package info. Who has time?

Yes. You can, but these Optima batteries are terrible. But an Interstate instead. I've had 2 Optimad fail right after warranty expired.

I did not look if there is any warranty because I think the replace one might be the same. It takes time and cost on shipping. The battery is heavy. I could not wait. I need the computer for my work. I had to run to the store to get the replace battery. T

I assume that you'd want to ask this question to the seller, but I believe it came with a short warranty period of 30 0r 60 days. I have had no issues with the battery and it has lived up to expectations. I get 6-7 hours of operation with it installed.

I have had the same problem. I brought it to best Buy and they said I probably need a new battery, but they dont sell them. You have to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Havent done it yet, but I am about to now

Haven't heard whether the factory addressed the problem. Mine still works fine, 'knock on wood'. I bought mine a year ago, knowing about the problem. I keep the backlight turned off in hopes that it preserves the life of the display. I've only used the charger maybe 10-12 times, however. I still don't recommend spending the xtra $$ on this unit because it did nothing to preserve my optima batteries. And it doesn't even have an engine start mode.

You do not need to do anything other than have purchased this battery through the Amazon site and will therefor have a date and record of the purchase. If you need to return a battery you only need to contact the seller which you can do through your account and your past orders. You will be able to contact the seller directly from the record of your order within your Amazon account. If you have had the battery less than 18 months the warranty should be valid yet.

I echatted with Amazon customer service. It was quick and painless, and you don't ship the battery back. T o get rid of the old battery just take it to most any auto parts store; many will give you a $5 store credit.
