Buffalo Battery LLC believes in the quality of our products and offers a limited lifetime warranty subscription for selected hybrid battery purchases. Application is not enrollment and enrollment is not guaranteed. Buffalo Battery reserves the right to deny any applicant without reason. All battery types must be used for the purposes and applications for which they are intended, advertised or marketed by Buffalo Battery.

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PHYSICAL INJURIES, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF TIME, LOSS OF USE OF THE VEHICLE, INCONVENIENCE, RENTAL VEHICLE, TOWING CHARGES, OR ACCOMODATIONS RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF THE BATTERY.

a) Failure due to misuse, abuse, modification, accident or collision, or improper installation. The use of a battery for a purpose for which is not intended, advertised or marketed by Buffalo Battery constitutes misuse and is not covered under any warranty.

Buffalo Battery is not responsible for any repairs or replacements with respect to the 12V battery and takes no responsibility for its performance. Customer acknowledges that in no event shall Buffalo Battery be liable for any losses due to the 12V battery.

1. Contact Buffalo Battery within ten (10) business days of first knowledge of defects with the Subscriber Name, VIN number, Current Mileage, All Diagnostic Trouble Codes and 12v battery health report. In most areas the Diagnostic Trouble Codes and 12v battery health report can be obtained by a local auto parts store for free. Please be prepared with these items so that the warranty process is as smooth as possible. Check Hybrid System Message is generic and can occur for many different reasons including but not limited to the hybrid battery. It is for this reason that Buffalo Battery is not responsible for obtaining a diagnostic test. A weak 12v battery can cause a false P0A80 which is why we ask for the 12v battery health report. If the 12v battery health report indicates the 12v battery is below 11v, State of health is below 30% or CCA is below 70% then the 12v will need to be replaced before a warranty is initiated.

2. Buffalo Battery shall be given the first opportunity to make repairs or replacements. Buffalo Battery shall have 30 days from Buffalo Battery confirmation of notification and confirmation of Warranty conditions to make any repairs or replacement.

3. The Lifetime Warranty is valid as long as the conditions outlined in the warranty are met and so long as Buffalo Battery remains in business.
