YAMAHA Golf-Car Company (herein referred to as “YGC”) hereby
warrants to the Original Retail Purchaser or Lessee of a YAMAHA The
Drive golf car or PTV, Adventurer utility vehicle, or YAMAHA Concierge
transportation or specialty vehicle purchased from an Authorized YGC
Dealer, that the
Trojan
batteries charged with a
YAMAHA
battery
charger will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, and
will provide “36-hole performance” as follows:
•
4-years or 23,500 amp-hours with T-875 batteries
•
4-years or 25,000 amp-hours with T-875 batteries and the addition
of a factory installed Trojan HydroLink Battery Watering System.
WARRANTY LIMITATIONS
Yamaha Golf-Car Company’s and Trojan Battery Company’s limit of
liability shall be to replace a defective battery. Replacement shall
mean furnishing a new battery or used battery with sufficient life to
complete the remainder of the warranty term, at no cost to the
purchaser during the limited warranty period, except for labor or
transportation expenses.
The following conditions apply:
•
Amp-hours will be determined either through the Genius controller
or through other means as necessary in the event of a controller
failure or replacement.
•
This warranty only applies to factory installed Trojan battery sets
charged with a Yamaha battery charger.
•
The customer must perform (or have a contracted Yamaha Dealer
perform) all periodic maintenance and discharge testing as
specified in the Yamaha Service Manual Maintenance Schedule.
No labor or transportation expenses are included in this limited
warranty. Maintenance records must be kept.
•
YGC supplied or approved replacement batteries may be of a
different brand or capacity, but are warranted to provide 36-hole
performance for the remainder of the original warranty term.
•
“36-hole performance” is defined as 60-minutes discharge time as
tested and recorded using a Lester model #17770 discharge
machine at an ambient temperature of between 60 and 100
degrees F (16 and 38 degrees C). Ambient temperatures
between 60 and 80 degrees F (16 and 27 degrees C) must be
corrected using the formula: Adjusted Discharge Time =
(Discharge Minutes) / (1-(((80-TEMP)/100) x 0.64)).
•
The customer must notify the Dealer within 10 days that a vehicle
has failed to make 36 holes per day. YGC reserves the right to
test and recharge any battery in question.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE VOID AND EXCLUDED
SUBSEQUENT TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE.
THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY IS THE EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY UNDER THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY. YAMAHA MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NO REPRESENTATIVE,
EMPLOYEE, DISTRIBUTOR OR DEALER OF YAMAHA HAS THE
AUTHORITY TO MAKE OR IMPLY ANY REPRESENTATION,
PROMISE OR AGREEMENT WHICH IN ANY WAY VARIES THE
TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any way, and as
part of its limited warranty exclusion, YAMAHA does not warrant
that its battery is suitable for use in any application other than in a
golf car or utility vehicle. As in the use of any battery, a prudent
owner will read and study the charger owner’s manual, the vehicle
owner’s manual, the operator’s instructions, and the battery warning
labels; and will exercise due care in working on or around batteries.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL
NOT APPLY IF BATTERIES ARE SUBJECTED TO ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
•
Abuse or neglect such as improper fluid levels, loose wiring,
rusted or corroded hardware.

Owner’s/Operator’s Manual. For example, lack of regular
battery watering or adding water to the battery before
charging.
•
Damage caused by improper installation of the battery.
•
Neglect, breakage, freezing, fire, explosion, wreckage, the
addition of any chemical, or the operation of the battery in an
uncharged condition (below half-charge – 1.200 specific gravity).
•
Battery charged by systems other than the original equipment
type battery charger.
•
On fleet golf cars, the use of any non-YAMAHA supplied
electrical devices that consume more than one amp-hour per
round or two amp-hours per day of battery energy. Examples
of these devices include, but are not limited to: heating or
cooling systems; GPS (global position system) devices;
information gathering devices; lights; radios or stereos; or
yardage measuring devices.

Less than one charger per car or inadequate facility electrical
power to power all chargers. Examples include more than
one charger on a single circuit, circuit rating of less than 15
amps, or not enough circuits for the number of cars.

For example, using only 10 battery chargers to charge a 15

chargers to shut off automatically. For example, timer
systems that are designed to switch battery charger AC power
on and off during peak demand hours.
•
Damage not resulting from a defect in materials or
workmanship or which occurs due to abuse or neglect
(including failure to provide reasonable and necessary
maintenance), accident, alteration or acts of God is excluded
from this limited warranty.
