Propulsion Battery Warranty
Policy
Like all batteries, the amount
of energy that the high voltage
“propulsion”battery can store
will decrease with time and miles
driven. Depending on use, the
battery may degrade as little as
10% to as much as 30% of capacity
over the warranty period. A dealer
service technician will determine
if the battery energy capacity
(kWh storage) is within the proper
limit, given the age and mileage
of the vehicle. Typical tests can
take up to 24 hours.
Repair
If possible, components will be
repaired or replaced, and the
original battery will be returned
to the vehicle.Replace (If Necessary)
Under warranty, the high voltage
battery may be replaced with either
a new or factory reconditioned
high voltage battery with an energy
capacity (kWh storage) level at or
above that of the original battery
prior to the failure.
Your Volt battery warranty
replacement may not return your
vehicle to an“as new”condition,
but it will make your Volt fully
operational appropriate to its
age and mileage.
