WARRANTY NOTES 

Any of the following actions will invalidate the warranty: 

 

Non-adherence to the Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions 

 

Repairs carried out with non-approved parts or by non-approved personnel 

 

Unauthorized interference with the battery 

 

Mixing different types and/or ages of batteries without obtaining SBS’s approval 

 

Application of additives to the electrolyte 

 

Operating the batteries above 130°F 

Any and all problems or abnormalities must be reported to SBS within 30 days of detection.  In particular this 
includes voltage readings that are outside the limits in this manual and are not improving when corrective action 
is applied.  Failure to report ANY problems in a timely manner often leads to permanent damage to the battery 
and will void the batteries warranty.
