Questions about our products

 

Are your batteries refurbished or brand new?

Artisan Power only sells BRAND NEW compatible battery packs. Our packs are manufactured at our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing plants and fully conform to quality standards and guidelines applicable to OEM battery packs. Our packs often times exceed OEM specifications with higher mAh (milli amp power).

What battery cells do you use for your battery pack?

We use Japanese cells by Panasonic in our battery packs, unless otherwise noted or requested. Japanese cells are the best in terms of quality and reliability in the industry.

Why is your pricing so low?

In doing our own manufacturing, we can dramatically shorten the supply chain and pass all cost saving to our customers. Throughout the entire manufacturing process and supply chain, we tightly control our operation costs so we can pass the savings to our customers. For example, we have reduced our RMA (returned merchandise) to a very low level by using only high quality components in production.

Are your products as good as brand name OEM batteries?

Yes, they truly are. Our compatible or aftermarket battery packs are manufactured by ISO 9001 certified plants, using the highest quality cells and materials, under the same strict high standards and guidelines applicable to OEM battery packs. The only difference is the savings (up to 70% off OEM list price) you will enjoy. Best of all, in many cases we provide warranties that are longer than the ones you would typically find with OEM purchases. Lower prices, longer warranty and supreme quality all help you make a smarter buying decision as well as rewards you with a better return on your investment.

What is the shelf life of your battery packs?

If stored properly, the shelf life of our products is typically 2 years.

Do all of your products have money-back guarantee?

Artisan Power Batteries carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our products in any way, we will gladly replace the product or refund your money when products are returned within 30 days of purchase. All refunds are issued in the same form of payment used in the original transaction within 30 business days of receiving your return. Important: If you purchase multiple batteries and opt for a return within 30 days, please try only ONE set at a time to determine whether you are satisfied before opening the rest. Please note that after the first set, only unopened products, in original packaging qualify for a refund. After the initial 30 days, most defective products are still covered for replacement up to 12 months from original purchase but no refunds can be issued. Due to our aggressive pricing, we cannot refund shipping charges unless we shipped incorrect item(s). Please refer to our Return Policy on how to initiate the return for replacement or refund process.

Questions about compatibility

 

What is OEM? Do you sell OEM products?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The OEM is the brand name of your device, and its original battery.  We do NOT sell OEM battery packs. Artisan Power offers only brand new compatible battery packs that are guaranteed to perform just as good if not better than the OEM brands in terms of quality and performance - all with significant cost savings to you.

What do the terms “compatible”, “replacement” or “aftermarket" mean?

“Compatible”, “replacement” or “after market” are 100% brand new batteries that are made specifically for your wireless equipment by manufacturers other than OEMs. They are manufactured to match or exceed OEM specifications and they deliver the same quality results just like the OEMs would. Artisan Power replacement battery packs are developed by ISO9001 certified manufacturing plants using state of the art technology for the finest quality batteries. Each battery pack is tested throughout the manufacturing process to match or outperform the original equipment’s specifications for form, fit and workmanship. In addition, our replacement battery packs save you up to 70% on your cost price when compared to the OEM.

Will my OEM warranty be voided if I use replacement battery?

Two words: ABSOLUTELY NOT! The use of replacement or aftermarket battery packs will not void your warranty in any way. Indeed, this has been clearly protected by the following legislation: MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY IMPROVEMENT ACT Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act United States Code Annotated Title 15 Commerce and Trade Chapter 50 Consumer Product Warranties 15 Section 2302 states that: "No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this subsection may be waived by the commission if: 1) The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and 2) The Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest."

Will your battery packs damage my device?

No. All battery packs are manufactured by ISO 9001 certified plants to meet or exceed OEM performance and will not damage your equipment in any way. Please let us know if you have specific concerns and we will be pleased to address them.
