Article 10.5 The Lead Battery Recycling Act of 2016

This dealer is required by law to charge a nonrefundable $1.00 California battery fee and a refundable deposit for each lead-acid battery purchased. A credit of the same amount as the refundable deposit for each lead-acid battery is returned at the time of purchase or up to 45 days later along with this dealer's receipt. We ask that if any disputes should arise regarding this repair, they be brought to the facility's attention immediately so a resolution can be reached.
