SUMMIT LITHIUM RUNTIMES

Our Promise

Summit Lithium batteries are built for reliability in harsh fishing conditions. Every battery we produce is backed by a 5-year limited warranty (2 years full coverage and 3 years 50% prorate) to you. If your battery experiences a failure due to defects in materials or workmanship, we will repair or replace it.

To start the warranty process, email:
đź“§ sales@summitlithium.com

This warranty protects you against defects that occur during normal, intended use of the battery, including:

  • Manufacturing defects

  • Component failures

  • BMS-related failures

  • Internal cell defects or early-life failure

If the battery is found defective under warranty, Summit Lithium will repair or replace it at no charge.

The following situations fall outside of the Summit Lithium warranty:

1. Misuse, Abuse, or Accidental Damage

This includes:

  • Impact damage

  • Water submersion

  • Crushed or punctured cases

  • Using the battery for an unintended application

  • Drawing more current than the battery is rated for

2. Improper Installation or Modification

Examples include:

  • Incorrect wiring

  • Loose or corroded terminals

  • Altered connectors

  • Opening or modifying the battery case

  • Running the battery in configurations not recommended by Summit Lithium

3. Unauthorized Sellers

Only purchases from authorized Summit Lithium retailers or SummitLithium.com are eligible.
Sales from third-party marketplaces such as eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or unverified sellers are not covered.

Lithium batteries can be damaged if stored incorrectly. Excluded conditions include:

If the battery falls below safe voltage but is still recoverable, you may send it in for evaluation and repair (fees may apply if damage is not warranty-related).
