Do you know what the guarantee of your mobile battery is? Mobile phones, like most electronic devices, have a a which is usually around 24 months.
However, such warranty does not normally apply to battery. And that is the moment when we often cannot use it, since the battery is usually one of the most common "reasons of death" of mobiles. But the battery is also covered, only for less time. Next, we tell you everything you need to know about it.
How long is the battery warranty?
Between 6 and 12 months?
Many manufacturers establish that the guarantee that covers the battery of their smartphones has a duration of Between 6 and 12 months. Therefore, they can put you down if you have to resort to it after that time.
However, if we look at the warranty conditions of any mobile, we will not find any different section that refers to the battery.
In addition, the legislation of the European Union, and more specifically that of Spain, indicates that all products must be covered during 2 years. Therefore, in principle we do not find anything that tells us that the battery must follow a different process.
It should be covered the same time as the rest of the components.
Nor is there any difference between removable and non-removable batteries. Therefore, in principle they cannot tell you that if the battery is a separate component from the rest of the phone, the warranty does not cover you. If the problem that the battery has given you does not really come from misuse, you should not have any problems during the first two years.
Does the warranty cover all problems?
As established in the relevant legislation, the a covers manufacturing defects that a device or component may have. This means that we cannot ask them to solve a problem that has been determined by misuse. However, to know if we are in trouble it is important to know the mobile battery cycles completed, so we will know if the battery is about to be damaged.
Therefore, if we want to have possible problems covered, it is important that we take good care of our device.
In the event that we have made a misuse of the battery or we have tampered with it, the manufacturer will be able to detect it easily. In that case, we will have to pay in full for the repair. And, since most cell phones today have non-removable batteries, the solution is not as simple as changing it. These are arrangements that can be quite expensive.
Therefore, it is important that we do not manipulate or risk the life of our battery, at least until the corresponding warranty period has passed.
Have you ever had to resort to the guarantee to repair the battery of your smartphone? Have you encountered any problem because more than the two rigorous months have passed? We invite you to tell us about it in the comments section.
