Hello All,
Heard back from the Distributor in Ft Lauderdale.
So a few more questions and a copy of the warranty (attached below) it looks like the FF battery is a non stater for me for couple of reasons,
1) The warranty does not cover a battery reaching its normal end of life, which may occur prior to the warranty periods.
2)The Warranty Period will be reduced if average operating temperatures exceed 80°F (27°C), as follows: the Warranty Period will be reduced by 50% for every 15°F ( 10°C ) of prolonged operating temperatures over 80°F, excluding starting applications.
Looks to me like any application operating over 80 degrees would shorten its life span significantly. I don't know what temperatures we see in the battery compartment are but would bet a paycheck they are way more than 80 degrees.
