Shipping & Returns

Returns Policy

All products must have a return merchandise authorization (RMA) before any return is accepted. A return merchandise authorization form can be accessed by clicking here.  Once completed and accepted a RMA will be issued.  Please follow the shipping steps below.   Purchaser/customer is required to pay for all shipping costs associated with warranty - authorization requests.  (If drop-off - pick-up not available).

Credits and exchanges are available to all products purchased from batteryspecialist.ca. Refunds may be issued when applicable.

For effective and efficient handling of returns, please note the following:
1. All returns must have a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.
2. Items without a RMA will be refused and returned to sender.
3. RMA numbers must be clearly displayed on return packages. Please do not mark merchandise.
4. All products must be in original condition and contain undamaged product and serial numbers.
5. All products must be accompanied with original manuals, accessories, and content information intact.

All non-defective products will be charged a restocking fee of 25% of the original purchase price. Original shipping costs are not refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the claimant. Exceptions may apply.

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.

End User Limited Warranty

This end-user international limited warranty is extended by Battery Specialist, to the original purchaser of any Battery Specialist product accompanied by this warranty and is not transferable. The warranty on the replacement product will be a continuation of the original product's warranty and will only be valid from the date of the original purchase.

Battery Specialist limited warranty shall be to solely repair or replace, at Battery Specialist option, the defective Battery Specialist product or any electronic device damaged by such Battery Specialist product, under normal consumer use. Repair or replacement will be made, provided that you are the original owner of the product, have completed the Product Registration Form within 30 days from the date purchase, and you have contacted the Battery Specialist RMA department.

*NOTE: The capacity of all rechargeable batteries will decline over time depending on the use and charging/discharging process. This is considered normal and therefore, a reduction in battery capacity is not covered under warranty. The battery is only warranted from defects in material or workmanship resulting in failures. Reduced runtime is not warranted and will vary depending on the power management settings and configurations that are set as well as the number of times the battery has been charged and discharged. Please be advised that rechargeable batteries are considered 'consumable products' and warranty coverage is limited.
