Laptop Battery Warranty Claim Process
A practical guide to submitting a laptop battery warranty claim, providing the required information, completing inspection, and understanding the warranty resolution process.
Understanding the Warranty Claim Process
If you believe that a laptop battery purchased from PCTECH Computers has developed a fault covered by its applicable warranty, you can contact our support team for assistance.
The warranty claim process is designed to collect the necessary purchase and product information, understand the reported problem, complete appropriate troubleshooting where required, and arrange product inspection when necessary.
Warranty approval is subject to the applicable warranty terms and, where required, technical inspection of the returned product.
When Should You Submit a Warranty Claim?
You should contact PCTECH Computers when you believe that your laptop battery has developed a fault that may be covered under the applicable warranty.
Examples of Reported Battery Problems
Examples may include a battery that fails to charge, is not detected by the laptop, or develops another suspected manufacturing-related fault during the applicable warranty period.
Normal reduction in battery capacity caused by usage, charging cycles, age, or environmental conditions is generally considered normal battery wear and is not necessarily a warranty defect.

Warranty Inspection
Why Is Inspection Required?
Laptop battery problems can sometimes be caused by the laptop, charger, charging circuit, operating system, battery connector, incorrect installation, or other external factors.
When a product is returned for warranty evaluation, PCTECH Computers may inspect the battery and perform appropriate checks to determine the reported fault and whether it falls within the applicable warranty coverage.
What May Be Checked During Inspection?
Warranty Eligibility
Warranty eligibility depends on the applicable product warranty terms and the findings of the warranty evaluation where inspection is required.
Generally Required
A valid purchase invoice or order confirmation may be required to verify the purchase and warranty eligibility.
The battery should be used with a compatible laptop and should not show signs of misuse, unauthorized modification, improper installation, or excluded physical damage.
Situations That May Not Qualify
Important Warranty Exclusions
Warranty coverage may not apply to physical or accidental damage, liquid damage, burn marks, corrosion, improper installation, incompatible devices, tampering, unauthorized repair, or normal battery wear and capacity reduction.
For complete information about warranty exclusions, please review the Laptop Battery Warranty Policy.
Swollen or Damaged Batteries
Stop Using a Swollen Battery
If your laptop battery becomes swollen, physically damaged, unusually hot, or shows another serious sign of failure, stop using it immediately. Switch off the laptop, disconnect the charger, and contact PCTECH Computers for assistance.
Never puncture, crush, dismantle, or attempt to repair a swollen lithium-ion battery.
