Motive battery warranty termsand the fast RMA claim guide

This page removes the three fears behind every export order: return freight that costs more than the battery, a claim that drags on for half a year, and nobody to call when a pack fails. Assessment standards are published in full, backed by local replacement and in-house consumable repair.

scienceLAB AUDIT & FIELD VERIFICATION

RMA quality verification and technical laboratory matrix

Remote data streaming, precise on-site measurement and national-level laboratory arbitration combine to keep every after-sales decision transparent and tamper-proof.

fact_check

RMA quality verification and cell testing

Quality engineers run a full inspection of the suspect module with digital calipers and an insulation tester, then issue an authoritative third-party analysis report identifying the real cause of wear.

Tolerance ≤ 0.02mm
cloud_sync

4G IoT remote BMS host-log analysis

Fault-instant voltage delta, cell temperature distribution and charge/discharge rate curves are read remotely without opening the pack, so engineers issue an accurate liability decision in 15 minutes.

Millisecond fault replay in the cloud

TIANQIU warranty terms against industry norms

No word games. Every after-sales responsibility, freight-cost owner and replacement standard is written into the contract annex.

WARRANTY & RMA
Service and warranty dimensionTIANQIU commercial standardTypical small exporter / traditional trader
Warranty period and cycles5-year standard commercial warranty / 3,500 cycles (100% DoD)
Counted from the dual timestamps of the factory barcode scan and BMS activation
1-year warranty / 500–800 cycles (out of period means no liability)
Capacity fade threshold (SOH)Free replacement of the whole module below 80% SOH within warranty
No depreciation charge, so the buyer absorbs no second-life value loss
Only accepted below 60% SOH, and then repaired by opening the pack rather than replaced
Consumables shipped per container2% of high-frequency consumables free with every standard container
BMS mainboard, relays, fuses and waterproof connectors
No free parts; replacement components must be ordered separately at high cost
After-sales logistics and replacement freightTIANQIU pays the freight to allocate a replacement from the nearest overseas bonded warehouse
Dispatched from core transit hubs such as Alexandria and Casablanca
Buyer carries the expensive cross-border Class 9 dangerous-goods return freight
Liability assessment and turnaroundRemote 4G IoT plus host logs — no dismantling, no return shipment
Liability confirmed within 48 hours and a dispatch order issued in the same step
Mandatory return to the Chinese factory for inspection, taking 3–6 months

The comparison is drawn on standard commercial three-wheeler and e-moped motive packs. Binding terms are those of the signed commercial motive battery warranty agreement and its annexes.

assignment_turned_inSTANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Four-step fast RMA claim workflow

An agile loop designed for large cross-border orders, cutting the communication overhead and reaching a replacement dispatched from overseas stock in as little as 48 hours.

  1. 01description

    Extract the fault log and nameplate

    The buyer exports the fault-instant log file from the BMS host software, and photographs the laser-engraved QR nameplate on the enclosure plus the vehicle wiring as found.

    Estimated time: 10 minutes
  2. 02engineering

    Online ticket and liability decision

    The RMA request is filed online and routed automatically to the powertrain algorithm panel, which issues a decision report and confirms compensation or replacement within 48 hours.

    Committed turnaround: ≤ 48 hours
  3. 03warehouse

    Local allocation of a new pack

    Once approved, the system instructs the nearest overseas warehouse (for example Egypt Alexandria or Europe Rotterdam) to dispatch a new module or free original spare parts.

    Local dispatch: 24–72 hours
  4. 04task_alt

    Commissioning and service closure

    A resident bilingual engineer, or a video session, guides the local technician through PACK installation, CANBUS handshake pairing and a loaded road test, then closes and archives the file.

    Guarantee: 100% install-and-run
fact_checkWarranty Coverage Scope

Warranty coverage: what is included and what is excluded

The clauses below come directly from the commercial motive battery warranty agreement and our overseas hub policy, and each is written into the contract annex.

verified

Covered: 5 years / 3,500 cycles (100% DoD)

Counted from the dual timestamps of the factory barcode scan and BMS activation, whichever comes first. Below 80% SOH within warranty, the module is replaced free of charge with no depreciation fee.

cloud_sync

Covered: remote evidence and liability decision

The BMS records the 48 hours of charge/discharge current, temperature curve and cell voltage delta before the fault. Engineers read it from the cloud and issue a damage assessment within 24 hours on working days — no dismantling, no return shipment.

thermostat

Covered: high temperature and water crossings

Models specified for North Africa and the Middle East use a high-temperature electrolyte formulation and intelligent thermal derating, keeping the same five-year warranty at 55℃. The whole range is IP67 potted with a breathable pressure-relief valve, so sealing and insulation integrity in short deep wading is backed by factory warranty.

handshake

Covered: batch failure-rate clause

If annual failure within one cell batch exceeds the contractual threshold (> 0.3%), a batch compensation clause applies: free additional modules from the factory, credited at double quota against the next container.

warning

Excluded: impact damage and water ingress from misuse

Water ingress caused by a physically broken enclosure after extreme impact is not covered by free replacement. The Nairobi warehouse holds standard sheet-metal shells and waterproof seals and will repair at parts-and-labour cost only.

Overseas warehouse and after-sales spare parts centre
warehouseLocal Dispatch Network

Dispatch from the nearest overseas hub, not a cross-border return

Returning a battery to China as dangerous goods is procedurally heavy and the freight can exceed the value of the goods. Once a hardware fault is confirmed, a brand-new module or complete pack is dispatched from local bonded stock. The customer disposes of the old unit through a locally licensed environmental facility, and the destruction video and certificate offset the value against the next order or travel with the following container.

Egypt · Alexandria bonded hubMorocco · Casablanca parts storeEurope · Rotterdam DG transit warehouseMiddle East · Dubai Jebel Ali duty-free
  • Instant local allocation: dispatched from the Egypt Alexandria free zone and Southeast Asian bonded stock, reaching the workshop in as little as 48 hours — see the full hub list in overseas warehouses and spare parts.
  • Replace, do not repair: once a defect is confirmed by 4G IoT or host logs, the buyer never ships a pack back to China and TIANQIU carries the replacement freight in full.
  • Life-fade arbitration: disputed batches go through a 100% DoD cycle re-test; the SOH reading standard and test method are set out in the cycle life and SOH whitepaper.

helpFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The warranty questions overseas buyers ask most

Clear answers on cross-border logistics and customs, module replacement, and how high and low temperature liability is drawn.

Who pays the expensive dangerous-goods return freight across borders?expand_more
TIANQIU works on a localised replace-don’t-repair policy. Once a product defect is confirmed by 4G IoT or host software, the buyer does not ship the pack back to China: a brand-new module is dispatched free of charge from the local or regional overseas bonded warehouse, such as Alexandria or Europe Rotterdam, and we carry the freight in full — eliminating expensive dangerous-goods return costs entirely.
What parts are actually inside the free 2% container spares kit?expand_more
With every container order (20GP/40HQ) we include 2% of high-frequency consumables free of charge: original BMS smart protection boards, high-power quick and slow charge connector pairs, mainstream relays, fuse resistors and spare silicone seals, so the local after-sales team can carry out immediate low-cost maintenance.
How do you decide whether a battery has simply aged or is a warranty fault?expand_more
SOH is our quantitative hard indicator. Within the five-year or 3,500-cycle warranty, if a standard test shows usable capacity below 80% of the rated value, the case is unconditionally treated as warranty. The data is exported in one click from the fuel gauge and coulomb-counting integral inside the BMS chip, which removes subjective argument.
Does fault data extraction require opening the pack or shipping it back?expand_more
No. Every TIANQIU PACK carries an independent self-protecting BMS host interface and an optional 4G IoT module, and at the instant of a fault it captures the surrounding voltage, temperature and current waveforms into encrypted ROM. The buyer only needs to export the log file with a handheld device and send it to us to complete the decision.
Does the same warranty still apply at 55°C in a North African desert?expand_more
TIANQIU models specified for North Africa and the Middle East use a high-temperature electrolyte formulation and an intelligent thermal derating strategy, so they keep the same five-year warranty even at an extreme 55°C in the North African desert. The BMS embeds high-temperature charge and discharge protection thresholds, ruling out any claim that extreme external climate caused a thermal event.
Can a volume vehicle manufacturer obtain local replacement authorisation and resident engineering support?expand_more
For core OEM customers purchasing five or more containers a year, we provide on-site technician training and certification that authorises the local team to perform factory-level replacement of the BMS mainboard and similar modules; TIANQIU also assigns field application engineers (FAE) to reside in core hub regions and provide quarterly inspection support.
