Product of poor quality.

I bought 2 Royal batteries at builders warehouse Gezina, last year April. Both the batteries lasted for an hour for few months when i'am on load shedded and now they can't even last 5 munets when the electricity goes off.

I called BWH call center to report the problem i have with the batteries and I was advised to return them as they are still under the warranty for 12 months.

I returned the batteries to BWH Gezina last week Monday and I was called today to be advised that the batteries are dead and they were on a 3 months warranty ( which's not what I was told when I bought them last year ).

I'am not happy with the feedback received and not happy that I spend R6500.00 just for the batteries to last for 7 months. If I new that, they won't last for for a year, i was not gonna waste my money and buy them.

I always buy things at BWH as I believe the shop sell quality products, but that was not the case with the batteries i bought, as there's no value for money on the product.

Can someone assist in resolving this issue, as i'am not happy at all. I was trying to solve the load shedding problem, but i'am back to zero.

Hi Tinyiko, 

I hope you're good.

Our team advised that you were in-store and were told that the batteries could not be exchanged due to the warranty.

Please provide me with the name of the agent you spoke to at the contact centre.

Regards,

Good Day

I don't recall the name of the Agent, but I call 3 weeks to a month ago. The reason i'am writing on this platforms is because i'am not happy with the feedback back received.

I can't buy a product for R6500.00 and it doesn't even last a year.

Can you please take up this matter to the relevant complaints department, as i'am nit a happy client.

The reason it never lasted is because it was not of a quality product.

Hi Tinyiko, 

I trust you're well. 

I do apologise for how the matter was handled, for the agent giving the wrong information about the warranty of the battery, and for the inconvenience caused.
 
Our team is unable to assist any further; the batteries cannot be repaired. 

If you need anything else, please let me know. 

Regards, 
NS.
