  6. Anyone ever return a battery under warranty?

    Few things for your knowledge. XS batts optimal charging is 15a per battery. With agm batteries if there to low, the charger won't sense enough internal resistance, there for showing a bad battery or one not taking a charge. Note that XS has a charger with a recovery mode. I promise those work. I've used them to recover 2 d3100s that was sitting for a prolonged time with a resting voltage of 6.2-6.6v. The recovery mode works like this. It dumps a constant 14.4v @1a to bring up the deep charge. Normally chargers like yours at 2.5a isn't constant it will bounce around.

    There warranty proceedure, has always been sent in the battery for testing, in which they will test it themselves and make a determination. Some times, there are bad batteries, however other times and more often then not that batts aren't bad at all and need to be recovered properly from a deeply discharged state. Swelling usually occurs from engine heat or over charging. I personally have had a 1 or 2 batteries fail during warranty out of several hundred I have sold. Both were replaced. I did have one come up this week that went bad, cause there was a hairline crack appear in the case from who knows where. I called and looked it up by serial number. At which point I was told it was just out of the warranty period. But to get me a replacement the offered to discount a new joe to help me out. I know it's frustrating, but the have a system in place for a reason. If they took everyone's work that the batteries where bad when the called and just shipped a replacement, they would be losing money. And no business it out to give stuff away. Almost 80% of batts sent in are recovered and work properly out of all warranty claims. Just think of the potential loss there.

    We'll I know I'm not in Alaska, but we had some of our coldest weather in Indiana last winter. I have a pair of d6500s under the hood of my diesel. We had a week of cold that was below zero temps with a wind chill in the -20s at night. I know a lot of people that have acid batteries freezing. And like I dumb ass I forgot to plug my truck in. However everyday I had zero issues starting the truck.
