Update on my PC680 replacement battery - I ordered a new one direct from the factory last Thursday, mainly to ensure that the new battery would be fresh off the line. I've been wondering if it shipped, as I've heard nothing from them, but received notification today that it had finally shipped

What they do with that battery replacement is they replace the battery and the warranty is from the old battery. We do the same thing with our equipment. If it has a five year warranty and they give me a new compressor at three years that new compressor only has two more years because you didn’t
