FAQ

  • I purchased a battery but it is no longer on the vehicle it was fitted to, does it still have warranty?

    All batteries unless supply only and not fitted must still be on the vehicle they we’re originally fitted to, this is so other checks can be made to ensure the battery is at fault and that the alternator is not over or under charging.

    Battery warranties are not transferable between vehicles and owners so if you sell your car or if you take the battery off one car and fit it to another this will invalidate your warranty.

  • Can I store my battery on the garage floor while not in use?

    It is believed by many that when batteries sits on concrete it discharges the battery, but the truth is that you can let any modern battery sit on concrete without fear of harm or accelerated self discharge.


    This myth stems from the days of the old wooden/glass case batteries, where damp floors led to water soaking up into outer wooden cases causing swelling of the wood. In fact with modern batteries with hard plastic cases, concrete is generally an excellent surface on which to store a battery.
