Batteries Plus

Did well when my iPhone’s screen cracked and I had it fixed there. Then it began to ghost! l and the offered to fix it free of charge because I had no control over that!

Awesome! Quick, friendly, easy and A+ service. No run around, no excuses, so refreshing ! Went to 3 places to get iPad screen fixed, best buy where I waited in line while the geek squad was busy taking pictures of themselves and ignoring their customers, waited 20 min to be told that they could only fix IF I had purchased the geek squad plan … Here is a thought ! Put up a sign that tells just that ! …
Radio shack was pleasant but had only a few locations that would do the repair and none close. They suggested battery and bulbs (aka battery plus) !
Hurray ! They could, they would and they were nice to boot !!!

Helpful people and had everything I needed both times. Did not expect them to have car battery rings!

Saved by Batteries Plus.
The plus in this case was a laptop power cord for an HP ProBook.
How much would you pay for a battery cord if you were desperate?
The guy at Radio Shaq told me over the phone; he couldn’t tell me if he had the cord in stock, I would have to bring it to the store… I did and he didn’t.
I called Micro Center in Fairfax. The recording says check their web site to see if they have a part in stock. I did… it didn’t work. I was on hold for 20 minutes waiting for someone who never answered.
One call to Batteries Plus and Gary told me was confidant he had what I needed.
He was right and when you absolutely must have juice for your box… and you gotta have it now… you’ll pay $ 60 bucks.

Five stars for delivering the goods!

I typically find Batteries Plus to be overpriced but the batter we got when we stopped in was not that bad. We needed one or two extra batteries for our camera as we were going to a concert but they only had one in stock. That’s fine as that is all we needed. Like I said, the price was not over the top and the guys working were very nice.
Also, they have an impressive selection of light bulbs at this location including colored energy saver bulbs.

Needed a replacement battery for the power backup on my home alarm system and visited the Manassas Batteries Plus location. They had the exact replacement type in stock and it was the same price as the last replacement battery I purchased from Radio Shack. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Nice experience.

Needed to find a replacement for a unique Niterider NiCD bicycle battery pack thas was nearly 20 years old. When they learned that I needed the light for my commute home, they put my rebuild request at the front of the line and finished in less than 24 hours at no additional charge. The new battery pack seems to be better than the original battery, and the charge was less than they quoted me. I dropped off my back-​up battery pack and they will have that one ready in about a week.

Had to write an update to Batteries Plus. Lowering my rating for now to one star due to two things:
(1) A policy of not accepting non-​rechargeable batteries for recycling (unless I was willing to pay them a fee to recycle the batteries)
and;
(2) The two staff people in the store today — advising me to just throw the batteries in the trash. The rationale they used was that my few batteries would not effect the environment. I responded that might be fine if I were the only one in the world throwing out my batteries — but that is clearly not the case. The cumulative impacts of everyone doing this — is not a good thing. We need to continue to recycle batteries so that metals are recycled and any toxics are prevented from entering the ecosystem.
I’ve since discovered that Prince William County accepts non-​rechargeable batteries for recycling.

My husband brought in our old HD batteries to Batteries Plus and they recommended he purchase a particular battery and so he did. Well — both of the batteries started oozing lead or something — at the exact same time after my husband and I left the house and stopped to get gas for our bikes. They were oozing from the negative terminal on mine and the positive terminal on his. So… we brought them back and the Batteries Plus Manager, Jason Mitchell said that he wouldn’t do anything about it… it would be approximately $ 240 out of his pocket… He accused us of installing them wrong (which IS NOT POSSIBLE) on our HDs… there is only one way for them to go in. Plus — our neighbor who is a professional mechanic for a local Jaguar dealership — and who builds bikes in his spare time — said that they were fine and that he had never seen such a thing happen. Jason Mitchell then accused us of using spacers… ok…I don’t even know what a spacer is… we took the old HD battery out — brought it to the store — got two more and put them in… Needless to say — we are out of about $ 240, had to push our bikes back home in 90 plus heat, and all the manager could do is make accusations… and our bikes are dead in the water. I used to work in the retail industry and this is not how you treat people at all. So, recommend them? Not at all. I hope this saves others from getting into the same predicament that we did. If you type their name in (batteries plus) online and search for customer service, etc… you will see that this is not a problem at just this store… but could be a Batteries Plus problem in general. Maybe they don’t provide support to their franchises… I don’t know. But, check it out for yourselves and then decide.

I didn’t know this existed until I needed a very odd battery for a tool I had. This store was convenient and the guy working there was very helpful and found exactly what I needed. The price was cheaper than what I had found on amazon for this particular battery.
They have every battery imaginable and if they don’t they can order it or tell you where to find it. They also have a lot of battery chargers if someone is visiting and forgets to pack one. If you have an ATV, jetski, boat, lawnmower, pacemaker, laptop, whatever, they got you covered.
They also recycle old batteries so if you have something lying around you can take it in.
