11 YEAR “Best in Class” WARRANTY 

Dakota Lithium Batteries (“the Manufacturer”) warrants each Dakota Lithium branded Lithium Iron  Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery (“the Battery”) sold by DakotaLithium.com or any of its authorized  distributors or dealers, to be free of defects for a period of 11 years (“the Warranty Period”) from the date  of sale as determined by either the customer’s sale receipt, the shipping invoice and/or the battery serial  number, with proof of purchase. Within the first 5 years of the Warranty Period, subject to the exclusions  listed below, the Manufacturer will credit, replace or repair, if serviceable, the Battery and/or parts of the  Battery, if the components in question are determined to be defective in material or workmanship. After 5  years and up to 11 years, if the components in question are determined to be defective in material or  workmanship, and the Manufacturer deems the components to be repairable, the Battery will be repaired  and returned. If the Manufacturer deems the components to be not repairable, a new, similar Battery will  be offered at a discount of 30% off the price listed at the time of the offer. The offer will be valid for a  period of 30 days after the date of notification.  

NON-TRANSFERABLE  

This Limited Warranty is to the original purchaser of the Battery and is not transferable to any other  person or entity. Please contact the place of purchase regarding any warranty claim.  

WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS  

The Manufacturer has no obligation under this Limited Warranty for Battery subjected to the following  conditions (including but not limited to):  

  • Damage due to improper installation; loose terminal connections, under-sized cabling, incorrect  connections (series and parallel) for desired voltage and AH requirements, or reverse polarity  connections  
  • Environmental damage; inappropriate storage conditions as defined by the Manufacturer;  exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures, fire or freezing, or water damage including  submersion 
  • Repeated exposure of terminals to saltwater without use of dialectic grease and rubber terminal  covers. Need grease and covers? Contact support@dakotalithium.com for recommendations. • Damage caused by collision  
  • Damage due to improper maintenance; under- or over-charging the Battery, dirty terminal  connections  
  • Battery that has been opened, modified or tampered with  
  • Battery that was used for applications other than which it was designed and intended for,  including repeated engine starting or drawing more amps then the battery is rated to continually  discharge in the specifications 
  • Battery that was used on an over-sized inverter/charger (any inverter/charger that is rated to 3500  Watts or greater) without the use of a Manufacturer-approved current surge limiting device  • Battery that was under-sized for the application, including an Air Conditioner or similar device  having a locked rotor startup up current that is not used in conjunction with a Manufacturer approved surge-limiting device  
  • Battery that has not been charged for over 1 year (batteries need to be charged regularly to allow  for a long lifespan) 
  • Battery not stored in adherence to the Manufacturer’s storage guidelines, including storage of the  Battery at low state-of-charge (charge your battery to full before storing!) 
  • This Limited Warranty does not cover a Battery that has reached its normal end of life due to  usage which may occur prior to the Warranty Period. A battery can deliver only a fixed amount of  Energy over its life which will occur over different periods of time depending on the application.  For example, cycling the battery more than 1 time daily, will cause the normal end of life to occur  before the end of the Warranty Period. The Manufacturer reserves the right to deny a warranty  claim if the Battery is determined, upon inspection, to be at its normal end of life even if within the  Warranty Period.

LEGAL RIGHTS  

Some countries and/or states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or the  exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to  you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, which may vary from country to country and/or state to  state. This warranty shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of North Dakota.  This warranty is understood to be the exclusive agreement between the parties relating to the subject  matter hereof.
