Battery Guarantee

When can I have my battery replaced at Revendo's expense?

Products purchased from Revendo AG after 01.11.2019 have a minimum battery capacity of 75%. If the capacity of the battery falls below 70% within the first 6 months from the date of purchase, Revendo will replace the battery once as part of a specific battery guarantee. The customer decides the timing of the replacement within these 6 months.

Products purchased from Revendo AG before 01.11.2019 have a minimum battery capacity of 70%. If the capacity of the battery falls below 65% within the first 6 months from the date of purchase, Revendo will replace the battery once as part of a specific battery guarantee. The customer decides the timing of the replacement within these 6 months.

Defective batteries are generally covered by the normal warranty of the device at any time.

What are the reasons for a free exchange?
  • Poor capacity; battery has less than 70, respectively 65% (see question: When may I replace my battery at Revendo's expense?). 

  • Defect: Battery is bloated, battery is totally defective (unit no longer starts, unit cannot be started correctly, general power problems - falls under normal warranty). 

What does normal wear and tear mean?
  • Up to 2 cycles per day are normal / achievable 

  • If the number of cycles from the date of purchase to the date on which a warranty claim is made exceeds 2 per day, there is no longer any question of normal wear and tear. Revendo AG will not assume any costs in this case.
