General Product Limited Warranty

Sealed Performance Batteries (SPB) warrants the Invicta Hybrid Starter range against defective workmanship and materials for the period specified below after battery was shipped from SPB, or for the full period from the date of shipment.

Warranty Period:

Three years from the date of shipment.

Conditions:

  • The warranty is invalid if the battery has been subject to misuse, abuse or physical damage.
  • The warranty is invalid if the battery is not used in accordance with the instruction and warning card provided online/in box.
  • The batteries are subject to IEEE Standard 1188 Acceptance Test at time of installation. If they do not meet both, or either, the standards and the published Invicta Lithium specifications the company, SPB, must be notified immediately
    and the user should request further instructions.
  • The battery will be determined to be defective if it fails to deliver less than 70% of its rated capacity during the warranty period, subject to the conditions listed below:
    The residual battery capacity is determined by:
  • Fully discharging the battery to 0% SOC at 1C or less
  • Fully charging the battery at the recommended voltage and rate for a minimum of 24 consecutive hours
  • Fully discharging the battery to 0% SOC at 0.5C or less and 73°F (23°C)
  • The percentage of rated capacity is calculated as:

Percentage of rated capacity (%) = [(IC/5) * hours to discharge] /C rated] * 100
Where:
C rated = Rated Capacity (Amp Hours)
IC/5 = C rated/5 (Amps)

  • The Invicta Hybrid Starter battery selected by the user must be of the correct size, design, and capacity for the intended application. Failure to do this will invalidate the warranty.
  • The battery should be installed and operated at a temperature not exceeding the batteries design limits as published in the specification sheet at that time,
