What is the warranty on your car batteries?
We provide a comprehensive warranty on our car batteries, ensuring that members receive reliable and long-lasting performance. At Sam's Club, the car battery is warrantied for the length of time listed on the label, which may differ for different types of batteries, including Marine, Lawn, Garden, and Commercial.
The warranty is only applicable to the member who originally purchased the battery from Sam's Club, and to qualify for a car battery replacement, a battery must test BAD. This ensures that the replacement is granted based on the actual performance and condition of the product.
The car battery warranty does not cover issues arising from installation errors or misapplication of the battery.
