Battery delivery

Batteries can only be delivered within the UK. Because batteries travel through a different courier route and may be sent direct from the battery supplier, order batteries separately from other parts where possible to avoid delays or additional carriage issues.
Battery warranty and vehicle checks
This battery is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty against manufacturing defects. Battery warranty does not cover failure caused by vehicle faults, incorrect charging, overcharging, undercharging, deep discharge, parasitic drain, poor earths, loose terminals, faulty alternators, faulty voltage regulators or unsuitable auxiliary wiring.
If a battery problem occurs, we need to establish whether the battery itself is faulty or whether the vehicle charging system, wiring or electrical equipment has caused the issue. A faulty alternator, regulator, earth, terminal connection or parasitic drain can discharge or damage a battery, and that is not covered as a manufacturing fault.
Before a warranty replacement can be arranged, the battery may need to be fully charged and tested, and we may need charging-system checks from the vehicle. Test results may need to show battery voltage, cold cranking amps and battery health.
Please contact us before returning a battery. We do not normally send a replacement battery before the original battery has been tested and a battery fault has been confirmed.

Warranty Info
Warranty covers all faults caused by manufacturing workmanship or materials.
Warranty does not cover:
- Sulphation
- Wear and Tear
- Deep or Over Cycling
- Overcharging
- Physical Damage
- Incorrect Application
- Damage from a faulty alternator
Information:
All batteries once filled with electrolyte become active, and will slowly self-discharge. The higher the temperature that they are stored at, the higher this self discharge rate will be.
It is important that no battery is allowed to discharge to the point of sulphating (12.06v), or so that they are no longer able to start the car/bike/truck or operate the required equipment. To prevent this we recommend monthly voltage checks, especially on vehicles that are used infrequently, or stand by equipment. Ideally a volt meter should be fitted to your vehicle so that you can monitor battery and alternator performance.
Once a battery’s voltage drops to 12.4v, we recommend that it is then recharged at a rate of around 10% of the battery’s capacity for 10 hours or until it has a voltage at rest of at least 12.65V.

Returns – quick FAQs
How long do I have to return an item?
Who pays return carriage?
What condition must a change-of-mind return be in?
Fitting, attempted fitting, contamination, damage, missing packaging or excessive handling can substantially reduce the value of the goods and may result in a corresponding reduction to your refund.
Can I fit a part and then return it?
Once a part has been fitted or an attempt has been made to fit it, it may be marked, contaminated, damaged or otherwise unsuitable for resale as a new part. We do not operate a used-parts or bargain-bin section, so a fitted or damaged part can have very little resale value.
Where your handling has reduced the value of the goods beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect them, your refund may be reduced to reflect that loss in value.
What if the item is faulty?
Are any items excluded from change-of-mind returns?
How do I start a return?
Please include your order number and a brief reason for the return. Do not send anything back until you have received the appropriate return instructions.
Buy with confidence: all new parts sold by Twinwoods 4x4 include at least 12 months manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
Some products and brands may include a longer warranty period where this is provided by the manufacturer. Where applicable, this will normally be stated on the individual product page or covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.
Warranty cover applies to manufacturing defects. It does not cover misuse, incorrect fitting, competition use unless stated, contamination, modification, damage during installation, normal wear and tear, or failure caused by an unrelated vehicle fault. For certain components, proof of professional fitment may be required.
Warranty claims may require the part to be returned for inspection and/or supplier testing before the claim is accepted. Any advance replacement is discretionary.
Warranty remedies relate to the part itself, meaning repair or replacement, or refund if those are not possible. Warranty does not cover labour, removal or refitting, diagnostics, consumables, travel or other incidental costs.
This warranty is in addition to your legal rights and does not reduce those rights.
