Battery coverage in this Limited Warranty begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser and continues for twenty-four months, 8,000 miles (12,900 km) or 750 hours, whichever comes first. Mileage is unlimited for the first 6 months of the battery warranty. Any time after month 6, the battery warranty expires at 8,000 miles (12,900 km), at 750 hours or at the end of the two-year period, whichever comes first. During this time period, POLARIS warrants your vehicle's batteries against defects in materials or workmanship. After the first six months in service, a defective battery will be replaced on a manufacturer/customer shared basis provided that the warranty limit of 8,000 miles (12,900 km) or 750 hours has not yet occurred.
