Well i think there is blanket eu law on a all electrical items being covered by a 2 year warranty yes from date they are sold, apart from iphones ipads( where apple stipulates you are covered for 1 year and if you want extra cover then you pay extra for the cover-this has landed them in deep water with many countries taking apple t court), but batteries are consumables as such so not sure what applies.....i think they maybe getting away with murder out here by selling batteries that have been sitting on a shelf for ages n still working but not to the full set extent, and yet charging full price.....ok thanks again
