Invicta Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)

 General Product Limited Warranty

Sealed Performance Batteries (SPB) warrant the Invicta Lithium range against defective workmanship and materials for the period specified below after battery was shipped from SPB, or for the full period from date of shipment.

 Warranty Period:

From the date of shipment

SNL – seven years

SNLX – seven years

SNLH – three years

SNLPS – three years

SNLSS – five years

SNLGC – five years

 Conditions:

  • The warranty is invalid if the battery has been subject to misuse, abuse or physical damage.
  • The batteries are subject to IEEE Standard 1188 Acceptance Test at time of installation. If they do not meet both, or either, the standards and the published Invicta Lithium specifications the company, SPB, must be notified immediately and the user should request further instructions.
  • The battery will be determined to be defective if it fails to deliver less than 70% of its rated capacity during the warranty period, subject to the conditions listed below:
  • The residual battery capacity is determined by:
  • Fully discharging the battery to 0% SOC at 1C or less
  • Fully charging the battery at the recommended voltage and rate for a minimum of 24 consecutive hours
  • Fully discharging the battery to 0% SOC at 0.5C or less and 73°F (23°C)
  • The percentage of rated capacity is calculated as:

Percentage of rated capacity (%) = [(IC/5) * hours to discharge] /C rated] * 100

Where:

C rated = Rated Capacity (Amp Hours)

IC/5 = C rated/5 (Amps)

  • The Invicta Lithium battery selected by the user must be of the correct size, design, and capacity for the intended application. Failure to do this will invalidate the warranty.
  • The battery should be installed and operated at a temperature not exceeding the batteries design limits as published in the specification sheet issued at that time, this include under-bonnet applications.
  • The batteries should be paired with a suitable designated charger with the correct settings and Voltage / Current limitations as indicated in the specification sheet. Incorrect selection of charger and/or failure to follow the correct charging regimen will void the warranty.
  • Must be fully charged every six months from the point of purchase
  • If the battery enters Low Voltage Disconnect/Over Discharge Protection (less than 10/20/30/40 volts, depending on model), it must be charged within 2 weeks
