  I purchased and received six 12-volt Trojan T-1275 150Ah Flooded Lead Acid GC12 Deep Cycle Batteries from this company. However, upon unwrapping the delivery, we noticed one of the batteries had been damaged and looked like a forklift or some other type of machinery busted it. I attached photos of the damaged battery and requested a replacement as soon as possible since this was no fault of ours. I also asked what I needed to do with the damaged one. The order number for these batteries was *******, and the total price paid was $2,048.00. Since that time I have dealt and responded to several emails questioning me about the driver who delivered and the forklift/lift gate that was used. The last email I received from ************************************* stated: Did driver of the ***** truck operate the forklift?Yes or no?Did driver of the ***** truck, use a lift gate?Yes or no.You stated two different things, so I am trying to get a clear and direct answered.First you stated driver used forklift, than you stated he used the lift. Which I am assuming is the lift gate, and that makes sense, because we book with a lift gate service.But if driver was not using a forklift, which I believe he wasn't.Who was operating the forklift?This has been ongoing and is ridiculous, especially since the battery pallet was so heavy it had to have a forklift to load it on AND off the liftgate of the truck. All I want is a replacement battery, and it looks like the cost for one would be $341.33. I just know the battery was damaged either in shipping or delivery before it was unloaded here.Please help resolve this issue. Thank you.

  Last email sent to customer was on 7/15/2024. Customer has yet to reply to email with additional details. Email attached.

  Asking to verify specific details of the delivery. Customer was vague and had changing story about the delivery.

  Customer stated driver used personal/private forklift to unload. Which we believe is false, because delivery driver can not use personal/private equipment to unload freight.

  Driver is only allowed to use liftgate which is a provided service.

  Customer also stated that driver used truck to unload. As stated in email to customer that would make sense. Because driver has a liftgate on back of truck.

  There are large neon stickers placed on the wrapping of the pallets that state do not sign for in damage condition. Items were signed for in good condition. No damage noted.

  Sticker example is attached.

  Attached is a POD, showing proof of delivery.

  In a nut shell. Driver did not use forklift. Items signed for in good condition, and if a forklift did damage, it was a private forklift on the property as stated from customer in email. And they are upset because we are not reshipping.

  Fedex did deny the claim as the items were signed for in good condition.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I have attached all emails of correspondence from this company regarding the issue, and noted in the complaint that this has been ongoing, and that is why I chose not to respond to the last email.  I am also attaching the order and total as proof, along with their policy that complete shopping satisfaction is our number one priority.

  I have already verified specific details of the delivery.

  I was never vague and did not change my story.  The company is the one trying to change the facts about the delivery. Yes, there had to be a forklift or lift on the truck to move the extremely heavy pallet of batteries to the tailgate or liftgate of the truck to be brought down to the ground. Thats as specific as I can get. And if I called the forklift a lift, that is definitely not a LIFTGATE. When asked, Are you saying the delivery driver, used your forklift to unload the freight?  I stated, The driver used the lift on the truck to unload.  We do not have one (meaning a forklift).

  I did NOT state the driver ever used a PERSONAL|PRIVATE forklift to unload the freight. For all I know it belonged to the delivery service. However, that is very irrelevant. The fact is that one of the batteries was damaged between the battery companys shipment department either loading it on the delivery truck, or the battery was damaged in unloading. 
  
  I did NOT state the driver used the truck to unload.  He delivered the batteries in the truck.

  In a nutshell, the driver did use a forklift, but apparently the shipping company had to do the same to move the pallet. I definitely did not state, it was a private forklift on the property as the respondent said, as stated from customer in email. I never stated I was upset.  This is a personal opinion of the respondent similar to this one, But if driver was not using a forklift, which I believe he wasn't.
  Who was operating the forklift?

  Also, as I stated before, my grandson who signed, not the person who unwrapped the pallet from the top down noticed any neon stickers on the freight.

  I never got a response to one of my very first concerns, Please let me know what we need to do with the damaged one.  Thank you for your help in this matter.  Also I never got a response to another question, Do you have some adaptors that will help connect these? (I am attaching a picture of one of my old batteries here to show the same model number).
  I really appreciate your help with everything.  Thank you. Apparently, my minor concerns as a customer didnt matter to them. But thats okay, I was able to order and receive the adapters I needed. I was even going to try to ship the damaged battery back, but they never told me anything about what I needed to do with it. 
  
  I have been very polite in this matter.  All I want is one replacement battery or to be refunded for it. The $2,048.00 total divided by 6 batteries would be $341.33.

  
  I am not blaming ****** and I didnt know their claim was filed against them. They work hard to deliver. 
  
  I would like a peaceful resolution to this matter.  Thank you.
  
  Sincerely,

  See below from customer response email dated 7/1/2024."My grandson said it sounded like the person operating the forklift was struggling to try to lift the pallet so it could be unloaded"

  Furthermore customer was not even present for the deliver.

  "I was not here when the batteries were delivered, but we had family and workers here working under our tomato packing shed beside where the driver pulled up"

  LTL Drivers do not have or operate forklifts. If a forklift was used then it had to be a private or personally owned forklift operated by anyone other then the driver. driver drops with a lift gate. I asked if there was camera footage that can be shared in support of the customer statement. No reply.

  The pallet should have been inspected before signing as in good condition. 

  Fedex denied the claim. Because it was signed for as in good condition. No damage or notes on BOL about suspect damage.

  Regarding the wrong terminals. Customer ordered the correct **********************, but the battery comes in different terminal sizes. High and low.

  Our advertising is for low profile. They needed high profile.

  Attached is the advertising.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I was very clear in letting the caller know I would not be here for the delivery when they called to schedule, and that someone would be here to sign, as I also noted in my email.

  I am attaching photos of a forklift that *** have been used to help in unloading the pallet. However, its hard for me to believe that kind of damage could have been done with one of these, which makes me lean more toward the shipment department sending it this way.

  It is impossible to move a heavy pallet such as this to the liftgate of a delivery truck without this type of equipment, and for that matter, it is also impossible to LOAD onto the truck from the shipping department without some type of equipment to load it with.

  The low or high profile terminals do not matter to me at this point, and Im not sure why it continues to be brought up.  As stated in my prior response, we have found and purchased the adaptors we need. I am satisfied with the size of the batteries.  That is not even the point. The fact remains that I purchased six expensive batteries, and one was damaged upon receipt. No one was asked to inspect the freight.  It was wrapped in many layers of pallet stacking plastic, which I am very familiar with. It would have been difficult to notice a puncture hole when unwrapping the pallet freight (batteries) from the top down.

  I do not care for the continued accusation that If a forklift was used then it had to be a private or personally owned forklift operated by anyone other then the driver. driver drops with a lift gate.

  I apologize for the oversight on the question of the camera footage. I asked if there was camera footage that can be shared in support of the customer statement. No reply. NO, there is no camera footage.

  I am correcting a spelling error as well from a paragraph in my last BBB response: Also, as I stated before, my grandson who signed, NOR the person who unwrapped the pallet from the top down noticed any neon stickers on the freight.

  Sincerely,

  Attached is the ***** denial.

  The pallet was signed for in good condition, with no damage noted.

  Attached is the denial for the damage claim.

  We have disclaimer stickers on the wrapping for a reason.

  I am confident the wrapping did have the disclaimer stickers.

  All pallets are inspected before they are shipped.

  Ordered date 5/21/2021 Car Battery with 3 year warranty Battery slowly got worse and would no longer hold a charge for more than 2 days.Car dealer tested battery and said it needs replacement. Bigtime says the battery is good enough.I want a warranty replacement.

  Attached is supporting evidence.

  Customer sent ********************** back.

  Tested good out of the box.

  We were very clear on that from the first email sent to him from ******.

  Yet, we still submitted for warranty.

  Optima limited warranty is attached.

  The battery was not defective so no warranty issued.

  His battery was sent back and BatteryJack expense.

  Just a grown man upset he didn't get a free warranty a month before his warranty expired.

  I am rejecting this response because: My car dealer tested the battery and it is too week to hold a charge.
  The battery fails to start the car that it is warranted to start.

  Their battery tester does not produce the same load as the car.
  See attached dealer invoice noting failed battery.
  
  Also attached is the receipt for a new replacement battery that is working fine.
  Please replace this battery under the warranty.

  Battery states failed, but shows no testing details.

  We did apply a 200AMP load on a carbon pile tester.

  "A carbon pile tester basically tests a battery by putting it under a load for several seconds to see it it's in good condition. It's the grand-daddy of electronic testers and, to some, it's still considered the best battery test"

  Attached is a picture and email of the battery tested specs when it was shipped to the customer.

  ********************, please make note, we are not Interstate Batteries. Please disregard receipt from Interstate Batteries.

   Customer wants a resolution but continues with an online smear campaign.

  Battery tested good, there was nothing to warranty. Customer upset he did not get a free warranty within a month of warranty expiration.

  I am rejecting this response because: Car dealer diagnosed problem as a bad battery and a new battery has fixed the problem.

  Again attached is repair estimate from a factory authorized ******* dealer noting a failed battery.
  Attached a receipt for the replacement battery that fixed the problem.

  Much like my cell phone when the battery wears out, the phone cant hold a charge for very long. The phone will work fine when fully charged, but a few hours later its dead.
  They represented this Optima battery would work in my car and it has failed. Their test procedure would show failure if the battery was the car that it was designed for.
  There is not a problem with my car and as proof a new battery fixed the problem.

  Note my *************** was over $11k, I can afford a battery.  Note BigTimeBattery.com has D- BBB rating due solely to warranty claims.

  Customer reached out regarding the **********************.
  We have been actively working with the customer on the issue regarding his **********************.
  The battery has a 2-year free replacement manufacturer defect only warranty.
  We do troubleshoot the issues before we replace them as it is manufacturing defect only warranty.
  Things like a parasitic draw, improper maintenance, and mishandling are not covered.
  The battery was purchased in January, it only worked once.
  The customer reaches out in March regarding the issue.
  This is important to note as Lithium LIFP04 batteries are require different maintenance than an SLA battery.
  There is booklet included with the battery for care.
  We have a 30 day return policy; you can return the battery for any reason within 30 days for a full refund less the original shipping fees.
  The item being outside of the 30 days, we no longer offer a refund,we must go through the warranty process.
  Customer got frustrated with the series of questions.
  We asked questions about the charger being used, the application and the charging system.
  We did not say that the battery was in sleep mode.
  When inquiring about a warranty, it is not an automatic approval, we review then approve or deny.
  We did ask for the battery to be tested and for the customer to provide a testing ticket.
  No proof of bad testing no warranty replacement.
  It is true that we do not warranty batteries at 0V, this is considered ****** discharged.
  No decision on the warranty has been made at the time of the report.

  I purchased a Banshee motorcycle battery from Big Time Battery in April 2021. The main reason I purchased their brand was the 4-year warranty and the reasonable price. In August of 2023, my motorcycle would not start. The engine tried to turn over very slowly, then the battery was dead. I contacted customer service from Big Time, and was told I could either ship the battery back at my expense to have them test it, or could take it to a local shop to have it tested and email the results to them. I took the battery to ******** auto parts. They tested and it proved to be bad. The results said "Bad battery, Replace Battery." I emailed the receipt showing that to Big Time, and was told those results were unacceptable because it didn't show the voltage. I then took the battery to ******* and had it tested. This time, the results showed everything that I was told had to be printed on the receipt for the battery test. Both these tests were not simply hooking the battery to a voltage meter. The tests were run using computerized load test, battery testing machines. The ******* receipt said, "Bad Battery. Replace Battery." When I sent the results to Big Time, they told me the test showed the battery was good. ****** at Big Time told me to ship the battery back to them so they could test. She is now claiming they tested it and the battery is good. She claims that battery can lose 80% capacity in the first year of use. IF IT LOSES THAT MUCH CAPACITY, IT WON'T START ANYTHING! The 4-year warranty is a joke and a SCAM! They do not honor the warranty. This company has horrible reviews all over the Internet and I wan to warn other people to AVOID BUYING A BANSHEE MOTORCYCLE BATTERY FROM BIG TIME BATTERY! ****** told me they would refund me when I shipped the battery back to them, even if the battery tested good. I sent a copy of my purchase of the battery from their Amazon store. She claimed they couldn't find my order in their system. I INCLUDED A COPY OF THE ***** INVOICE FOR THEM!

  Customer sent ********************** back after failing to provide a valid testing ticket. We emailed customer an example of a testing ticket so they would understand up front what was needed. Customer did not provide that so that is on them. Below is what we send customers who have defective batteries. They have two options. Attached is a testing ticket example. Testing ticket provided from ******* on 9/28/2023 shows a battery at 12.76V and 209CCA. The battery has a rating of 295CCA. The battery has been used for three years and has 70% capacity. That is a good battery. Batteries are consumable. If the battery simply needed a charge. Attached is an image of the battery specs after charge. 

  Funny how customer wrote ******************** with no foul language. But attached are emails of the language they used with us when they did not get their way.

  The POS was not dead. If it was dead, it would have no voltage, and no CCA. 

  ..We even offered customer a prepaid return label for the item: customer did not pay to send it back. 10/04/2023
  My Default Location  1Z7A2R149093661123

  We have two options for receiving a warranty.
  
  The first option is to simply mail the item back to the address below.

  store and have the battery tested.
  Please make sure you are given a hard copy testing ticket/receipt as
  proof of testing. Written testing tickets will not be accepted as proof of testing.
  The testing ticket needs to display measured voltage and CCA.
  Please email us the testing ticket/receipt along with your order information.
  The engraved date code is located on top of the battery.
  Once the testing ticker and order information is received, we will review and reply. At that time
  there is no need to send the item back, unless instructed otherwise.

  I am rejecting this response because the response by the business is nothing but LIES! 

  1. "Customer sent ********************** back after failing to provide a valid testing ticket." I provided TWO valid testing tickets to BigTime Battery! Both of the test tickets were emailed to their customer service and also attached to my original BBB complaint. One ticket was from ******** Auto Parts and the other one was from ******** BOTH of those test tickets said, BATTERY FAILED. REPLACE BATTERY!

  2. "Customer did not provide that so that is on them." Again, BOTH battery test receipts were emailed to ****** at BigTime Battery and were also attached to my BBB complaint!

  3. " Testing ticket provided from ******* on 9/28/2023 shows a battery at 12.76V and 209CCA. The battery has a rating of 295CCA"  So, at least you now admit that I sent my test receipt from ******** The battery is supposed to have 295 CCA. It tested at 209, which is NOT enough to turn the engine of the motorcycle over to start it! This battery is junk as far as starting the motorcycle!

  4. "The battery has been used for three years and has 70% capacity." The battery was not used three years, it was two years and three months. YOUR WARRANTY is for FOUR years! I am at a little over HALF of that. Also, 70% is not enough to turn the bike over.

  5. "That is a good battery."  IT DOES NOT START THE MOTORCYCLE ANYMORE!

  6. "Funny how customer wrote ******************** with no foul language"  No foul language was used with BigTime Battery either, until after the 13th email when I was sick and tired of the runaround that they've been giving me!

  7. "We sent the good battery back"  You sent back the same DEAD battery that I sent to you. This battery does NOT start the motorcycle. I even made a video with your battery back in the bike, and trying to start it. This junk battery does NOT start the motorcycle. I will attach the video here if I can.

  Bottom line, BigTime Battery is a crooked company. The claim a 4-Year Warranty but do not honor it. They are a low down, filthy, fraudulent bunch of scammers! I am going to make a ******* Video of their POS batteries and plaster it all over social media, warning others to stay away from BigTime. 

  (I tried attaching the video here but was unable to)

  Attached is the most recent contact we have received from the customer.

  One of the owners did reach out regarding this issue reaching the customers voicemail.

  The owner is willing to discuss the issue if the customer can conduct themselves as an adult.

  The customer tries to explain why they spoke to our representative in manner they did, simply put there is no acceptable reason.

  The customer claims we gave them the run around.

  The instructions sent were clear in what we require for testing with an attached example, and this was not provided.

  When an acceptable ticket was received the battery was testing within good health for its age.

  Customer disputed the denial, so we got the battery back.

  We charged the battery, and let it sit over the weekend off the charge to ensure accurate testing.

  The battery ultimately tested at 84%, this is still considered good for a battery of its age and use.

  For a battery testing to be considered failing by manufactures defect the capacity would have to test below 70% for 2 years use.

  Batteries are a consumable product, with use the capacity will decrease, this is the function of a battery, not a manufactures defect.

  The warranty was denied as it is testing above industry standard for its age and use.

  The battery not turning your bike over is not an acceptable form of testing the battery, and it not the scale we use to determine warranties.
  

  We reserve the right to approve or deny a warranty.

  Submitting for a warranty does not mean you will receive a replacement.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  1. "The owner is willing to discuss the issue if the customer can conduct themselves as an adult."  What are you talking about??? I have the transcripts of every email that was sent between myself and ******. Would you like to see them? Speaking of not acting like an adult or a professional business owner, here is what *******, the supposed owner, said on her voicemail to me: "I am willing to talk to you if you're not an A$$HOLE."  What kind of a business owner talks to a customer like that?

  2. "The instructions sent were clear in what we require for testing with an attached example, and this was not provided."  Again, like I've said over and over, I SENT THE REQUIRED BATTERY TEST RECEIPT FROM ******** (THE EXACT KIND THAT THEY GAVE IN THEIR INSTRUCTIONS WITH ALL THE DETAILS OF THE BATTERY TEST) to ******! The test receipts from both ******* AND ******** Autoparts were also  attached to my original complaint here, for the entire world to see!

  3. "The battery ultimately tested at 84%, this is still considered good for a battery of its age and use." Lie some more. Your previous response, recorded here for all to see, claimed the battery was at 70 percent! Regardless, the battery DOES NOT START THE MOTORCYCLCE! If I have a car battery go bad and not start my car while the battery is under warranty, do you think the company would say, "Well even if you can't start your car, you can still play the radio."?????

  4. "Batteries are a consumable product, with use the capacity will decrease, this is the function of a battery, not a manufactures defect." Of course batteries are a consumable product. People buy motorcycle batteries to....START THEIR MOTORCYCLES!  Your battery warrants that it will START THE MOTORCYCLE FOR FOUR YEARS! Your battery failed after 2 years! I have provided all documentation!

  5. "The warranty was denied as it is testing above industry standard for its age and use."  i have two receipts that both state BAD BATTERY, REPLACE BATTERY. THOSE RECEIPTS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD WIDE WEB TO SEE!  

  6. "The battery not turning your bike over is not an acceptable form of testing the battery, and it not the scale we use to determine warranties"  I have attached both receipts showing the battery is bad!

  7. "One of the owners did reach out regarding this issue reaching the customers voicemail."  I called back and asked for *******, the person who left the voicemail. I was told she was on another line and would call back. She never called back.

  Hello,

  Customer emailed and we responded with return instructions. Email is attached.

  Customer is within warranty and may return for warranty consideration.

  WE ARE NOT OPTIMA!! We are a distributor for Optima.

  We have to follow Optima return policy, which is attached, and also located on the Optima battery website.

  Optima batteries have to be sent back to the supplier/distributor they were purchased from.

  We offer a 30 day money back guarantee, and the *** item is backed by the manufacturer. In this case, Optima.

  We did not deny the customer a return for warranty. Can not issue a refund, item is outside 30 days and warranty return policy is  located on our website.

  Customer may return for a warranty.
