If you bought a new battery with a pro-rated discount, totaling $65.13, and for some reason this battery tests dead 18 months and one day later, you DO NOT get a replacement battery because the original warranty of five years is what counts, is now expired, and you have no warranty claim.
What kind of warranty does Walmart have on car batteries?
Walmart also offers a prorated warranty for its EverStartMaxx range of batteries, where if your battery gives up in this period, you can get a discount on your new battery. Any warranty in general, not just Walmart car battery, covers all damages that are beyond your control.
What to do if value Power Battery no longer works?
If your ValuePower or EverStartPlus battery one day no longer works and it’s within your one or two year warranty period, simply bring it to your local WalMart and they will test the battery. If their machine determines they can charge the battery for you, the battery is NOT defective and they will recharge your battery for free.
Is there a punch out date on a Walmart battery?
No, not necessarily. If you don’t have the receipt, there’s usually a punch-out date on the battery itself that a WalMart can reference. If you return to the original store you purchased it at or any store for that matter, they might be able to bring up a proof of purchase in their system.
