Core Return Instructions
Returning your old battery (core) is straightforward. Follow the steps below to ensure a smooth return and full deposit refund.
1
Repackage Your Core
Place your old battery into the original packaging. Cores must be palletized to prevent transit damage — any damage caused by improper packaging will be deducted from your deposit.
2
Include All Components
Make sure ALL parts are returned with the battery, including the ECU and all other vital components. Missing parts will result in a predetermined deduction from your core refund.
3
Choose Your Shipping Method
Use the prepaid label included in your package, or arrange your own carrier. See the shipping cost table below for options and refund eligibility.
4
Ship to Ace Hybrid Tech
Drop off your palletized core with the carrier. If you need a new shipping label or instructions, call us at (714) 728-9393 and our team will send them via email or fax.
