New car battery warranty
Hi. Bought a new car battery in Jun 2020. Battery has a 3 year warranty. Just recently its not been holding charge, had it tested, result was that it should be returned under warranty.
So, I returned it to the shop and they replaced it, no question (didnt even test it).
The new battery, if bought new also has a 3 year warranty. But because this was a warranty replacement, I dont get a 3 year warranty, only the remainder of the original warranty.
Does this sound normal?

Yes, normal, and it's not bought new it's a warranty swap.

Yes, completely normal, this is just how warranties work. The warranty is related to the initial purchase.UncleZen said:Hi. Bought a new car battery in Jun 2020. Battery has a 3 year warranty.
