battery deposit
The battery deposit included in the shipping flat rate (as far as I know is legally required) was not reimbursed despite the waste disposal confirmation sent in.

Delivery of four service batteries
I can not say anything about the quality of the batteries, as this will only be revealed later. With regard to delivery, I noticed that the shipment only came out to you after about a week. The show was on the road for a very long time.

Unfortunately there were difficulties with delivery. Your courier did not want to release the package to the marina office where I am based. I was in the uk when the courier came and would only delivery to me personally. It took the marina manager serveral minutes to persuade the driver to give the package to her.

I have waited 1 12 days for delivery. It was announced to me by the forwarding company on time, but this did not work twice. The delivery with time was indicated with email on the first day. Several phone calls brought only promises, in the end it was said, the charge had been forgotten. One day had passed ..., The next day the goods were to be delivered at 1000 o'clock, around 1230 it finally arrived. So I spent 1 12 days with waiting at home. I'd rather have worked on the boat. They should no longer be entrusted with the forwarding of the Melting from Kassel. Many greetings Hanno Podbielski

Thanks
I can't say anything about the battery yet. And I don't know if the weight is good. I can only say that I was treated very kindly when I made the complaint and everything went perfectly.
What wasn't very nice is that I have been buying from SVB for many years and also made contact with the Maldives indirectly and now when I call and order something I pay more than the price is on the internet. Even though I said I was a good old customer, I got the price that was 0815. It's a real shame, but what the heck. Best wishes, Viktor Vansevicius

Very limited lifespan.
The battery only lasted two and a half years. However, it is still maintained by a solar panel and used just as a service battery on a sailboat. She never suffered a deep discharge. Maximum 15 Amp discharge on a 105 amp model.

Lost fluid after 3 years
Unfortunately too short for such an expensive battery

Not 100% on point
The battery works quite properly, but the charge indicator is dead. Considering the shipping cost to return the item (transport of dangerous product) I use it as is without the comfort of the indicator of load.
The Vetus battery has no base strip
Because of the missing base strip, the battery cannot be secured with the usual retaining clips. The first nice photo shows the batteries with a base strip, but obviously not all of them! The detailed technical documentation then reveals that the 110Ah battery, for example, doesn't have one. I was misled, so to speak, because I didn't look properly!

lifespan too short
Hi, I bought 3 batteries. 2 for consumers and 1 starter. The 1st consumer one broke after 18 months, only 9.6 volts and the 2nd after 36 months. And the 3rd won't last much longer either. I think that's too short a time for the money.
I spoke to SVB because the battery is only 18 months old, I was told that it had been fully deep-discharged. That was the end of it for them.
I bought them because the same ones were in the boat and broke after 9 years.

Battery defective
Newly installed as a starter battery on board so that a specialist can then determine that the battery is defective. Easy refund after contacting customer service.

The battery was delivered a first time with the corner of the cardboard recessed and hidden by an adhesive marked "Dachser". The acid of the battery, certainly broken, had permeated the cardboard. Of course, the package is returned to the sender. About ten days later, the same package was delivered to me and, of course, refused. I canceled my order and I am waiting for the refund.
