If you’ve ever bought a power converter or battery charger, chances are you’ve heard of IOTA Engineering. Their products keep your electronics running smoothly, especially in RVs, solar systems, and off-grid setups. But what happens if something goes wrong? That’s when the warranty kicks in!

What kind of warranty does IOTA offer?
IOTA Engineering offers a limited warranty on its products. That means they’ll cover certain problems—usually the ones caused by manufacturing defects. It’s like a shield for your device, but only if it breaks because of something IOTA missed during production.
So, what’s included? Here’s a quick look:
- Standard Warranty: Most IOTA products come with a 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty covers: Defects in materials and workmanship.
- Warranty does NOT cover: Damage from misuse, accidents, or unauthorized repairs.
This means if your IOTA converter suddenly stops working because of a factory flaw, you can get it repaired or replaced. But if you drop it in your pool or try to fix it with a hammer… not covered!
But what does “limited” really mean?
Good question! “Limited” means it’s only valid for specific things. It’s like a VIP pass that works at one concert, not every concert. It protects you from errors caused in the factory—but not from damage caused by you, bad installation, or even normal wear and tear.
Also, shipping costs usually aren’t covered. You might have to pay to send the item back for service. So, while IOTA will fix or replace the unit, you may have a small cost depending on the situation.
How do you claim your warranty?
It’s pretty simple! Here’s what you need to do:
- Keep your original receipt. This proves you bought the product and when you bought it.
- Visit the IOTA Engineering website to find customer service info.
- Call or email them with the product info and explain the problem.
- If approved, they’ll guide you through the return or repair process.
It’s best to have the model number and serial number handy. That makes the process faster.
What if your warranty is expired?
Don’t panic! Even if your device is past its warranty period, you might still be able to get support. IOTA sometimes offers repair services at a low cost. Or they may help you troubleshoot with tech support.
Their team is known for being helpful and friendly. So don’t be afraid to reach out. Most users find them easy to work with. That’s always a bonus!
Pro tips to keep your warranty valid
Want to make sure your warranty stays good? Follow these simple tips:
- Keep proof of purchase – You’ll need it if anything goes wrong.
- Install correctly – Follow the user manual. Incorrect installation can void your warranty.
- Don’t modify the device – No cutting, opening, or hacking it!
- Use it as intended – A power converter is not a water toy!
Also, keep the box and manual if you can. Having the original packaging can help with returns or troubleshooting.
Are all IOTA products covered the same way?
Not exactly. While most products have a 2-year warranty, some may be different. Always check the documentation for your specific item. Lighting products, battery chargers, and load centers might have unique warranty details.
If you registered your product online, that can help speed things up too. Some IOTA items also qualify for extended warranties if registered.
Simple and safe
IOTA’s warranty isn’t fancy, but it’s solid. It’s there to protect you from the unexpected. Just treat your device well, follow the rules, and you’ll be covered. If something does go wrong, you’re just a phone call or email away from help.
So go ahead and power up with confidence. Your IOTA gear is backed by more than just parts—it’s backed by a promise.
