Was the replacement battery a new one or a used one? I understand there are no new batteries available for the Gen1 Volt. If it was a new battery and installed by a dealership it should have some kind of warranty.
You just correctly said that there are no new batteries available for Gen 1. There haven't been for about a half a decade. Therefore the replacement battery was a used one. And probably just as old as the battery it replaced, because 2013 used a slightly different battery and the 2015 different again, and up until 2022, there wasn't a process to mix the batteries between year groups like that.

Correct, so the fact that the battery was replaced (at least to me) is not such a great selling point.

Good morning I appreciate people’s interest on this post.
I purchased this car from the original owner 15 months ago. He explained to me the GEN 1 Volt battery is made up of three parts. One section was replaced under the original manufacturers warranty. Sometime later, he then replaced the other two sections of the batteries at his expense and I have that receipt. Cost was approximately $6000. It states one section was new and one section was remanufactured. Work was performed at Chevy dealership in Lakeland, FL. I don’t see any verbiage about warranty but perhaps there may be some. Warranty didn’t impact me when I purchased the vehicle.
This is the third Volt I have either leased or owned and just like my two previous Volts, the car has operate without any issues. Fully charged battery is 30 miles plus or minus.
Selling the vehicle because I got a great deal on a Tesla model 3.
