Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I make a claim under the warranty on my battery?
In the event you wish to make a claim under this warranty, you must return with your dated bill of sale receipt and your battery, with its warranty insert intact, to your ACDelco retailer (Repair facility, authorized distributor or GM Dealer). If your receipt is not available, the beginning date for this warranty will be based on the date code as it appears on the battery label.
 
What is the warranty on the battery that came with my NEW GM vehicle? 
The battery in your GM vehicle is covered by the limited warranty of three years or 60,000 km whichever comes first (48 months/4 years or 80,000 km, whichever comes first, for Cadillac, Buick) and should be taken back to the GM dealership. To confirm the warranty see your new vehicle warranty.   (See your owner’s manual for more information)

What is the warranty on the battery that is a replacement battery?
The ACDelco replacement battery warranty is for the consumer who purchased the battery as an aftermarket battery, and it is not the original battery. For a warranty on an aftermarket battery, the battery should be returned to the place of purchase or authorized ACDelco battery supplier or repair facility with the original receipt.  The details will be on the label and the installer will be able to determine the amount of warranty coverage that is applicable if any.

The ACDelco replacement battery warranty is coverage for the consumer who purchased the battery and is not transferable to another person/owner; the battery should be returned to the Independent Service Center or any ACDelco Parts Retailer with the receipt for warranty consideration.

Reading Date Codes
Why do I need a date code?
The date code is used in exception cases where you do not have a receipt for installation.  It is at the discretion of the parts supplier or repair facility to confirm they will warrant the battery.  They will use this code as an official date to determine if there is still coverage on the warranty (assuming the battery has failed and is deemed to qualify for warranty).

How do I read the warranty date code on my battery?
This is a high level guide on how to read the battery date code, however, it is also recommended you contact an ACDelco parts supplier or your local repair facility to help you read the date code. They can assist with date code reading and based on the specific part number may also have an idea of the approximate range of years since the specific part number was released. ACDelco continues to add part numbers to their battery line up and a local parts supplier may know a timeframe when a specific part number was released.

All ACDelco Gold (Previously Professional Gold) series, ACDelco Silver (Previously Advantage), 60-series, and Voyager/Marine batteries have a date code printed on the battery label.

  • The first character is either a G (Gold) or S (Silver or Advantage)
  • The next two digits determine the month (ex. 10 = October)
  • The third digit is the year (ex. 9 is 2019)
  • The fourth digit indicates the manufacturing plant. 
  • Example:  S 040 G – is a Silver Series dated April of 2020




For batteries with our previous branding, see the following chart to confirm the date code:
