It’s not meant to be a catch-all solution for damage caused by misuse, neglect, or operating conditions outside the product’s design limits—even though some end users may view it that way.</p><p>If this truly is a manufacturing defect, then it should be covered. In a perfect world, these situations would always be handled at no cost to the customer. We don’t live in a perfect world, and no matter what company you’re dealing with, the accountants ultimately rule.</p><p>Most manufacturers do not cover costs such as removal, reinstallation (R&R), or shipping. Those expenses vary widely and can’t be controlled or predicted at the time of manufacture. It’s similar to how companies advertise 15-, 20-, or 25-year warranties, but the list of exclusions often ends up being longer than Al Capone’s rap sheet. And in some segments of the industry, companies don’t even last the full term of the warranties they advertise. </p><p>Another reality—especially with power electronics—is that a large percentage of returns initially believed to be warranty claims (often 80% or more) ultimately turn out to be non-warranty or “no fault found” situations.</p><p>A couple of years ago, I worked with an installer and homeowner on a flooded battery bank that was less than two years old. Two of the 2V cells were running hotter than the rest. The remaining cells were also warmer than normal, which led me to suspect they may have been run dry. After discussions with both parties, we replaced two batteries and returned them to the dealer. I later traveled to the site and tore the batteries down to determine the cause of failure. Not only had they been run dry, but they had been run dry multiple times and for extended periods. Despite being told repeatedly by both the installer and homeowner that the batteries had never been run dry, the internal evidence clearly showed otherwise.</p><p>Just a few months ago, we replaced an S12-200LFP battery for a customer under warranty; it was less than eight months old. When the dealer received the battery, he called to say it was full of seawater. The battery had been installed on a boat; something happened to the vessel, and it sat submerged long enough for water to penetrate the case. And no, these batteries are not submersible.</p><p>I share these examples not to point fingers, but to illustrate why manufacturers approach warranty claims cautiously. From their perspective, they regularly encounter failures that initially appear to be defects but ultimately trace back to operating conditions, maintenance practices, or environmental exposure.</p><p>At the end of the day, companies write policies the way they do because they’re trying to manage risk and stay in business. I don’t know of many companies that fully cover R&R and transport costs. There are some, but they generally don’t cover the full amount. Those costs don’t disappear—they’re absorbed somewhere in the system and, much like tariffs, tend to work their way back to the homeowner one way or another.</p><p> </p><p>Steve. </p><p> </p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Fri, Feb 27, 2026 at 10:22 PM William Miller <<a href="mailto:william@millersolar.com" target="_blank">william@millersolar.com</a>> wrote:</p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Steve:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">If the warranty claim is valid, it is assumed the problem is with the product, not the installation.

It’s also important to remember that many of the people you’re speaking with at manufacturers aren’t the ones making these policy decisions. Sometimes they’ve simply drawn the short straw — and like the Secret Service, they’re the ones taking the hits from installers and end users.</p><p>As an installer, your customer is usually on your back. When situations like this arise, you’re often the one losing margin. What started as a profitable job can quickly become a break-even or, worse, a loss.</p><p>From the manufacturer’s side, I’ve also seen companies struggle or even go out of business because they failed to control unknown or open-ended costs. Freight and field support expenses can escalate quickly if they’re not carefully managed.</p><p>One of the joys of living off-grid on solar is the peace and quiet — or at least that’s the expectation. But part of that reality is that when you live five hours in the middle of nowhere, some things will simply cost more. Travel, freight, and service calls all carry a premium. If someone chooses to live in a remote location, that premium is part of the equation.</p><p>The challenge is that having that conversation with a customer upfront isn’t easy. Being transparent about potential additional costs may turn some people away. However, avoiding that discussion can create much bigger problems down the road.</p><p>It’s a tough balance — protecting your business while still delivering good service — and there’s no perfect answer.</p><p>Steve Higgins</p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">On Thu, Feb 26, 2026 at 10:57 AM Jason Szumlanski <<a href="mailto:jason@floridasolardesigngroup.com" target="_blank">jason@floridasolardesigngroup.com</a>> wrote:</p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Steve, I don't know how that can get you anything but praise and respect.</span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><br clear="all"></p></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I think it is completely reasonable to save costs by piggybacking on distributor orders.

These are my personal experiences based on more than 30 years in the industry, not the official position of Surrette/Rolls Battery.</p><p>I’ve worked for manufacturers for the majority of my career. Back in the old Trace Engineering days, around 1995, I was fresh out of college (2-3 years) and new to the industry. I remember sitting in a meeting with upper management and asking this exact question. At the time, I believed that if something was determined to be a warranty issue, we should also cover the shipping costs under that warranty.</p><p>One of the senior managers explained it this way: manufacturers have to control costs carefully. Warranty is often the “red-headed stepchild” of a company — yet it is a necessary part of doing business. If it isn’t managed properly, it can quickly become unsustainable and can definitely give the company a black eye. </p><p>A significant portion of the customer base in this industry does not live in urban or suburban environments. Many customers live in remote locations — often down a dirt road or in the mountains. Shipping to these areas can be extremely expensive. In some cases, freight costs alone can rival the cost of the product itself.</p><p>The perspective shared with me was that while we absolutely stand behind our product when there is a legitimate defect, a manufacturer cannot reasonably absorb unlimited shipping costs based solely on a customer’s geographic location.</p><p>That conversation has stayed with me. Over the years, I’ve come to better understand the balance manufacturers must strike between supporting customers and maintaining financial responsibility.</p><p>At Surrette, when we process a warranty replacement, we typically piggyback those shipments with normal distributor stocking orders. We do this at no additional charge. However, if a shipment needs to go directly to the customer, or if shipping originates from a distributor’s warehouse to the end user's or installer's site, we do not cover those freight costs.</p><p>There are exceptions. Usually, for verified out-of-the-box failures, I can get shipping covered under warranty, but shipping to locations without loading docks or down a dirt road is usually a non-starter. </p><p>Steve Higgins. </p><p> </p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">On Thu, Feb 26, 2026 at 8:50 AM Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:</p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Bill for everything ! </span></p><div id="m_8016777222164269686m_-3364926265681443534m_7506780245790832363m_5677449515291507239m_5028707523673131788signature"><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span></p><pre> </pre><pre><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar</span></strong></pre><pre><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">"we go where powerlines don't"</span></strong></pre><pre><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><a href="http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://offgridsolar1.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";background:white;font-weight:normal">https://offgridsolar1.com/</span></a><a href="http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/" target="_blank"> </a></span></strong></pre><pre><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">e-mail <a href="mailto:offgridsolar@sti.net" target="_blank">offgridsolar@sti.net</a></span></strong></pre><pre><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">text 209 813 0060</span></strong></pre></div><p><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span></p><p id="m_8016777222164269686m_-3364926265681443534m_7506780245790832363m_5677449515291507239m_5028707523673131788reply-intro"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">On 2026-02-26 7:59 am, Laura Conchelos via RE-wrenches wrote:</span></p><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #1010ff 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 5.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div id="m_8016777222164269686m_-3364926265681443534m_7506780245790832363m_5677449515291507239m_5028707523673131788replybody1"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Hi all, </span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I need to replace a Discover rack-mounted battery under warranty.
