All,

 

 

 

I bought an AA car battery on 29/10/2016 for $295 with 36months warranty.

 

Replaced under warranty on 22/7/2017.

 

It failed again in the weekend 28/6/2020. (less than 3 years from 2 battery) Maybe faulty batch? I put the battery on maintenance charge when not using the car for long period (COVID lock down).

 

AA Battery wont replace it saying it is past 3 years from original purchased date.

 

Is AA Battery right? What about Consumer product guarantee ? How do I claim against that? Is it Dispute Tribunal?

 

Please share your thoughts/comments. Should I just go away disgruntled consumer?

Not sure that this helps the OP but we bought two new cars at the same time in 2014 - six years ago next month - and neither has required a new battery. Based on fifty years of car ownership, I believe the useful life of a car battery is way longer than three years. Maybe brand and price have something to do with it - get what you pay for?





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
