Second paragraph down. Unfortunaley, the shipping costs to the battery manufacturer are the same as the replacement costs.



Seems to be a different on the Solitaire then, I read about them handling leakage on CPF so I dug my 3 AA out of a drawer and sent it in and got it back repaired a few weeks later at no charge.

Technically they don't warranty the work, they contact energizer or duracell or whomever and they cover it from what the threads on CPF say.
