Our warehouses are for pickup only and do not install or remove batteries from vehicles. We do not supply services for any vehicle or equipment at these locations. If you are returning a core during your pickup, please remove it from your vehicle prior to going to our warehouse.

Recycle & Save Program

We do not change a hidden core fee on any of our batteries. The full price of our batteries are listed online and all charges apart from applicable taxes and shipping are included.

At Voltloop we have no hidden core fees, plus we give you money back to recycle your old battery. All of our pickup locations are registered recycling depots, so when you pick up your new battery, we can recycle your old one and give you money back.

Battery scrap values depend on current market prices and vary based on size and chemistry. Prices are determined on location and are not subtracted from the original sale price. Batteries must be a minimum size to qualify for our Recycle & Save Program, with the approximate minimum size being a 35 lb. automotive battery.

Our warehouses recycle all household and commercial batteries, regardless of size and chemistry. That includes flooded lead acid, lithium, sealed lead acid, AGM, gel, alkaline and many others. Whether you have a large capacity forklift battery or a couple AAA batteries, we can properly recycle it.

We do not remove or replace batteries in vehicles or equipment, and batteries must be removed before you proceed to our warehouses.

Please park your vehicle in our parking lot, and proceed to the front door to speak with one of our associates before bringing your old battery inside. Please inform the front desk of any scrap batteries you may be dropping off and check to see if you qualify for our Recycle & Save Program. Our on-site staff will inform you of the next step to complete the core exchange.

Warranties

All of our products have full manufacturer warranties which vary for each product and manufacturer. Refer to product listings for full warranty details or go to our warranties page.

Contact a Voltloop representative on our toll free number at 1 (855) 455-5543 or by email at warranty@voltloop.ca. Our helpful staff will start your warranty process immediately and determine the best warranty steps based on your location and product specifications.

We have locations across Canada to carry out your warranty process. Based on your location, we will either direct you to drop off your battery or ship your battery to our location to be tested.

Our warranty processing time is determined based on age, chemistry, application and capacity of your battery or charger. It can take anywhere between a same day exchange or one week to test your battery or charger and determine the warranty coverage. We know how critical power is to your vehicle and equipment, that is why we strive to test and exchange your products same day.

We have two tests that we perform to determine the health of your battery. The first test is a carbon pile test to measure the cranking amps for starting power batteries. The second test is a discharge test, which determines runtime at a set amount of amps for deep cycle batteries. All of our warranty testing is based on guidelines designed to comply with the industry-leading manufacturers we carry.

You are not required to file any paperwork with the manufacturer of the product. You will only require the original purchase invoice from your order, which can be supplied by a Voltloop representative if you have lost it. Further, you will need a valid ID for proof of original purchaser when you are dropping off or shipping your battery to us.

If a warranty is covered through a shipping company (Canada Post, UPS, Fed Ex or USPS) due to damages during delivery, we require a description of the damaged contents, full size photo of damaged contents, full size photo of exterior packaging, full size photo of interior packaging, and a photo of the shipping label with the tracking number.

Shipping costs for warranties are covered by the purchaser, although if your warranty is successful we will reimburse your shipping costs. Many of our batteries are not available for shipping and require a drop off to our warehouses.

You do not need to register for a warranty when purchasing anything through Voltloop. We base all warranties based off the original purchase invoice.

Warranties start at the time of purchase and are based on the original bill of sale from the order placed with Voltloop.

Battery warranties do not cover:

  • Careless or abusive use, including rusted and/or damaged posts
  • Over discharge & overcharged batteries

  • The limited warranty is void if the unit has been opened or tampered with, if its terminal connections were reversed (reverse polarity), if it was
    exposed to a damp environment and misused in any other manner.

Our warranties are offered by the industry leading manufacturers we carry, and vary based on brand, model and application. Commonly are warranties are structured with a full replacement coverage within the first period and repair coverage within the second period. For example; our Relion lithium batteries have a warranty coverage of “Manufacturer Limited Warranty 3 Years Replacement or Repair Warranty with 10 Year Total Warranty.”

We only cover manufacturer warranties if to product was purchased through Voltloop. For a warranty to be covered, it must be filed by the original purchaser of the battery or charger. If the product was purchased through Voltloop and sold later to a secondary user, the warranty is not covered.
