Trade-In, Trade-Up Policy


Qualifying Trade-In Requirements:  A maximum of up to 4 LiPo batteries can be traded-in per customer, per year. Batteries must be from the brands listed in the drop down menu only. All trade-in batteries require a copy of your original receipt of purchase and are eligible for one year from date of purchase. Batteries must be in good, well-kept condition and not damaged. Due to shipping regulations only individuals in the USA and Canada are eligible for the trade-in program at this time. Only batteries rating 250mAh and 2-Cell or above qualify.

Discount:  For qualifying batteries, you will receive 50% off the current MAP/street price for currently generation Chemistry batteries only. Trade-in batteries will be matched by closest mAh and discharge rate for the equivalent TPRC batteries. By trading in your batteries you understand that TPRC staff will place a sales order matching to our closest equivalent product. Should you decide to upgrade the discharge rate, the discount will be based on the equivalent as identified by our staff and you will be charged the 50% of the equivalent plus the difference for the higher discharge rated mAh. There is no further discount for downgrade in mAh or discharge rates. Maximum discount is 50% and the customer is responsible for all shipping charges.
