Continue reading this post to learn all you need to know about the Milwaukee battery warranty. Also, you will learn the exact steps to filing a claim and what to expect after you file your claim.
How Does Milwaukee Battery Warranty Work?
All Milwaukee batteries have a warranty attached to them. The effect of the warranty is that the manufacturer will undertake the cost of repairs or replacements for any battery with a defect.
For the warranty to apply, the claim has to be filed within the warranty period. Also, the procedure for filing the claim must be followed to the last detail.
In addition, it is only the original owner or first-time purchaser that can file a warranty claim for a Milwaukee battery. In other words, if you purchased the said battery from a friend, the warranty on the product doesn’t extend to you.

How To Check If Milwaukee Battery Warranty Is Active?
Before filing a claim, you have to confirm the period is still within the warranty period. There are two ways to check this for Milwaukee batteries.
The first option is to check the product receipt and the second option is to check the date code. That is the receipt of the invoice you got from the seller. The receipt does have the purchase date.
Understanding Milwaukee Date Code
You may be wondering what the date code is and how to find it. All Milwaukee products, especially the battery, come with a date code. The date code is the 13-digit serial number that contains details of the product.
The date code or serial number contains details like the manufacturing year and week of the product. You can find these details in numbers 6-9 of the code. Numbers 6-7 bear the year, while the numbers 8-9 bear the week the product was made.
You can find the date code on the battery sticker just beside the Milwaukee logo on top of the battery. This sticker needs to be on the product when you file a warranty claim for the product.
What Does Milwaukee Battery Warranty Cover?
The warranty on all Milwaukee batteries covers just the manufacturer’s defects. That is any defect that occurs during the production process. It includes both defects in materials used in production and workmanship.
What Is Not Covered In Milwaukee Battery Warranty?
The warranty on any Milwaukee battery does not cover the following damages or defects:
. Damages caused by misuse, abuse, or lack of maintenance or accidents.
. A defect caused by unauthorized alterations of any part of the battery.
. Damage caused by normal wear and tear.
What Voids A Milwaukee Battery Warranty Claim?
Besides these factors listed above, other factors can void your warranty claim. With these in place, the Company won’t approve your claim. They include the following:
. Warranty claim filed by anyone besides the original purchaser of the battery.
. Claim filed after the warranty period.
. Warranty claim for a product purchased from an unauthorized retailer.
. Warranty claim on a product that has reached the end of its normal life.
