YAMAHA FOUR-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY FOR TROJAN BRAND
ELECTRIC GOLF CAR AND UTILITY VEHICLE BATTERIES WHEN
CHARGED WITH A YAMAHA 48-VOLT CHARGER
YAMAHA Golf-Car Company (herein referred to as "YGC") hereby
warrants to the Original Retail Purchaser or Lessee of a YAMAHA The
Drive golf car or PTV, Adventurer utility vehicle, or YAMAHA Concierge
transportation or specialty vehicle purchased from an Authorized YGC
Dealer, that the Trojan batteries charged with a YAMAHA battery
charger will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, and
will provide "36-hole performance" as follows:
• 4-years or 23,500 amp-hours with T-875 batteries
• 4-years or 25,000 amp-hours with T-875 batteries and the addition
of a factory installed Trojan HydroLink Battery Watering System.
WARRANTY LIMITATIONS
Yamaha Golf-Car Company's and Trojan Battery Company's limit of
liability shall be to replace a defective battery. Replacement shall
mean furnishing a new battery or used battery with sufficient life to
complete the remainder of the warranty term, at no cost to the
purchaser during the limited warranty period, except for labor or
transportation expenses.
The following conditions apply:
• Amp-hours will be determined either through the Genius controller
or through other means as necessary in the event of a controller
failure or replacement.
• This warranty only applies to factory installed Trojan battery sets
charged with a Yamaha battery charger.
• The customer must perform (or have a contracted Yamaha Dealer
perform) all periodic maintenance and discharge testing as
specified in the Yamaha Service Manual Maintenance Schedule.
No labor or transportation expenses are included in this limited
warranty. Maintenance records must be kept.
• YGC supplied or approved replacement batteries may be of a
different brand or capacity, but are warranted to provide 36-hole
performance for the remainder of the original warranty term.
• "36-hole performance" is defined as 60-minutes discharge time as
tested and recorded using a Lester model #17770 discharge
machine at an ambient temperature of between 60 and 100
degrees F (16 and 38 degrees C). Ambient temperatures
between 60 and 80 degrees F (16 and 27 degrees C) must be
corrected using the formula: Adjusted Discharge Time =
(Discharge Minutes) / (1-(((80-TEMP)/100) x 0.64)).
• The customer must notify the Dealer within 10 days that a vehicle
has failed to make 36 holes per day. YGC reserves the right to
test and recharge any battery in question.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE VOID AND EXCLUDED
SUBSEQUENT TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE.
THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY IS THE EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY UNDER THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY. YAMAHA MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NO REPRESENTATIVE,

AUTHORITY TO MAKE OR IMPLY ANY REPRESENTATION,
PROMISE OR AGREEMENT WHICH IN ANY WAY VARIES THE
TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
LIMITED WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any way, and as
part of its limited warranty exclusion, YAMAHA does not warrant
that its battery is suitable for use in any application other than in a
golf car or utility vehicle. As in the use of any battery, a prudent
owner will read and study the charger owner's manual, the vehicle
owner's manual, the operator's instructions, and the battery warning
labels; and will exercise due care in working on or around batteries.
