• The warranty period shall be adjusted based on actual operating conditions such as temperature and frequency of charge/discharge cycles as published by Leoch. The warranty period will be reduced by 50% for every 8 Degrees Centigrade increase in operating temperature above 25ºC (77ºF) (Base Temperature).
• Batteries or systems shall be provided with a refresh charge every 3~6 months, while in storage, prior to final installation.
• The User agrees that the manufacturer’s representative shall have access to equipment furnished hereunder for purposes of inspection at reasonable hours and intervals.
