Battery Warranty
Swelling/Puffing is not considered as a defect and isn't part of our warranty . Typically this is due to improper use or misuse. We make sure to offer packs that have been tested and are known to be reliable and have a high cycle life when treated properly.
Please note SMC will only warranty packs that are purchased from the SMC site. We will not cover warranty for packs sold on Ebay or other similar sites. If you buy from a Hobby Shop we will work with them and warranty the packs based on the info provided by the hobby shop.
