No. Although BHe is made from the same technology used by internationally branded power tools that offer 2-3 year warranties, BHe can only offer 1 month warranty but 3 month warranties can be arranged depending on the volume of purchase.
If BHe is made from the same Lithium technology, Why can't the same warranty be extended?
1. Power tools company can offer such warranty because they sell at a better price premium. No matter how good a brand is there are bound to be some production imperfections and their higher price premium enables them to absorb such losses. BHe for airsoft is sold at a low premium.
2. When one buy a portable powertool the battery and charger are already packed with the merchandise so the company offering the warranty has a reasonable amount of assurance or guarantee that their batteries will always be properly charged. Also, incorporated in the powertools are power management systems that protect the battery and the tool against over drain.
3. Not only can airsoft batteries be plugged into a NiMH charger by accident but also into destructive serial chargers, poor quality parallel chargers or fake balance chargers. In contrast, powertools have their own chargers and fake or substandard balance chargers are not a problem with powertools.
4. Airsoft guns are also upgraded to different power levels while powertools are not. Different spring strength, mechbox shimming, motor RPM or torque, playing or firing style, etc, all have different effects or stress on the battery. It is also our finding that airsoft players usually used batteries beyond their recommended capabilities.
Because of these, Yuntong and other manufacturers offers BHe a much shorter warranty period.
Note: R/C cars and helicopters usually have this overdrain protection system that protects both battery and the R/C toy.
