Frequently Asked Questions

What is the warranty on the battery that came with my vehicle? It says that it has a six-year warranty.

The battery that comes with a GM vehicle is covered by the limited warranty of three years or 60,000 km (48 months/4 years or 80,000 km, whichever comes first, for Cadillac, Buick and HUMMER) and should be taken back to the GM dealership. The six-year warranty is for the consumer who purchased the battery in the aftermarket; the battery should be returned to the place of purchase with the receipt.

Where can I find a warranty-covered replacement battery?

You can find a local ACDelco battery retailer through the ACDelco Parts Retailer or Service Centre online, or call 1-800-263-3526 and one of our friendly representatives will help you locate a warranty center in your area.

How do I read the warranty date code on my battery?

The warranty date code is located on the top label of the battery. The first character is either a P or S. The next two digits determine the month, the third digit is year and the fourth digit indicates the manufacturing plant. For example, P 094N means the battery was made in September 2004 in the New Brunswick factory.

In the event you wish to make a claim under this warranty, you must return your dated bill of sale and your battery, with its warranty insert intact, to your ACDelco retailer. If your dated bill of sale is not available, the beginning date for this warranty will be based on the date code as it appears on the battery label.
