How Does Odyssey Battery Warranty Work?

The warranty is just the Company’s way of confirming the trust it has in the quality of its products.

In other words, the Company is saying ‘We trust the quality of our products and we will undertake to bear the cost of any defect on the product.’ The defect in question is the manufacturer’s defect.

Within the warranty period, you as a customer can file a warranty claim for a defect on your battery. As long as the defect falls under the defects covered in the Company’s warranty policy.

How Long Is The Odyssey Battery Warranty?

This depends on the series and functionality. For instance, the warranty on the ODX battery series is different from the warranty on the ODS battery series. Also, the warranty differs based on functionality. Here is a breakdown of the warranty on all Odyssey battery series:

Odyssey Extreme Batteries ODX PN Prefix Industrial/ commercial/ marine/ automotive engine start applications in non-BCI/DIN sizes 3 years

To check if the warranty on your Odyssey battery is still active, simply check the product receipt. The product receipt should contain the purchase date of the product.

Calculate the purchase date and the current date. If the timeframe is within the listed warranty period, it means that the warranty on the product is still active.
