Battery warranty is one of the more grey areas of warranty coverage. Depending on local legislation and the specific coverage for the model you can get 6-12 months (it's considered a consumable) and the warranty might start when the battery was manufactured rather than the sale date (like Dell did some years ago, not sure if it's still a practice).
- no_wizard 7y agoIn my experience it's always tagged to the device at time of sale like any other warranty. Usually this comes into play if the device and the battery somehow have different warrantie. However I am hardly an expert on this. I can speak to the surface though (we use them at work) and most definitely is covered
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoConsumables are readily replaced at low cost. Batteries (in phones/tablets) are essential central components. If you need tools or instructions then the parts aren't really consumables.
- MereInterest 7y agoPart of the issue is the trend of integrating parts that used to be easily replaceable. My first phone/laptop each had batteries that could be swapped in under 10 seconds with no tools. My latest do not.
