@Hawk , your story will be really interesting to follow! With so many hours, there's a (very slight) chance you won't qualify for warranty. Was battery function still okay? Chances are that the lights will tell the tale and you'll get a replacement.
Then comes the question about warranty, to which there have been a couple of different answers over time, each with some basis/confirmation from S&B. I had an email exchange with S& B America, with a confirmatory email and date certain. Another member had a communication and got contradictory information. And there's apparently a statement in the Crafty owner's manual that would lock the date at two years for date customer takes receipt of the product. You can see some of our discussion back in this thread on Dec 14 - Dec 15th of 2015.
I have to say that in my opinion, a warranty that is considered 'reset' each time a replacement is issued would have to be called a lifetime warranty, so I don't think that has any bearing here, when the issue is a question over a 2-year warranty.
The story told to one member was that the "warranty does not reset"; it lasts two years.
But I have email (I won't reprint) telling me that my warranty lasts until two years from the day they first received my first warranty repair-return. The word 'reset' is not used.
In your case, this would be huge if administered this way. This is your first return, so it would mean your 2 year clock started very recently, when S&B receive your return. I think the best way to confirm this would be for you, after this return is resolved, to ask them directly about the standing and term of your warranty.
I truly am not wanting to start a re-rehash of the whole discussion. I've tried to layout the various reports we have had, and I think/hope we can learn a lot from seeing how things go for
@Hawk . Remember, we've yet to see anyone's warranty expire, so a lot of us are curious. Best of luck! Thanks for posting. Stay in touch.
