As office Manager of a machine shop, we go through a LOT of batteries. Batteries Plus is our go-to shop for not only AA/AAA/C/D/9V, but they even custom-build battery packs so we’re not stuck buying brand new tools when the batteries go bad. Pretty convenient. Last year, I consulted with PHAROH at this Batteries Plus location regarding converting half of our shop from CFL bulbs to LED. Previously, every time a bulb went out, we had to hire a company to come out and install a new one for us, which cost a pretty penny. Thus, our shop was consistently dim, since we’d often wait until quite a few were out, for cost efficiency. PHAROH not only helped us pick out LED bulbs that worked with our current ballasts, he also explained the difference between lumens and power usage. Once we finally had a bulb picked out, he helped us get a good deal since we were buying in bulk by honoring the online price in-store, and even informed us of an XCEL Energy rebate that saved us even more money. Having ordered about 500 bulbs, he not only delivered them to us personally, he also returned to take our old CFLs after the conversion was done for recycling. In the near future, we plan on converting the other half of the shop from CFLs to LEDs, and I wouldn’t even think of going with anyone else.

I am writing this at 9:20am on a Sunday and the store still isnt open, although the hours on the front door show they should be open at 9:00am. Update: Ive revised my 2 star rating to a 4 star. Here is why; I was ticked off when I wrote it. Whenever the store is open, the staff are generally friendly and knowledgeable. For example, I bought an after market battery pack for a DeWalt cordless tool. The battery pack was defective and they swapped it out for me, no questions asked, and without a receipt. I almost exclusively go to BPB for all my battery needs. Given the good service I experience when they are open, Ive reconsidered that maybe the store opened late, on the Sunday morning I described in my original review, because the employee who was supposed to be there at 9am encountered some type of situation outside of their control. Difficult to say, and Ill probably never know for sure, but 2 stars just isnt representative of the norm.

I had a problem with my camera because it kept showing a battery error sign. I was at my wits end because I had talked to about 4 other people trying to figure out what was going on. I replaced every single battery. So I went to this place and the person behind the counter (I believe his name was Mike or Matt) was very helpful and friendly in solving the problem. He tested all the batteries (seven total) and found one of them had a negative charge. He replaced it with a spare he had behind the counter and sent me on my way! I was very impressed with this going above and beyond the usual customer service. I didnt buy anything but I will be sure to stop in the next time I need batteries to support this business.

Staff is awesome. They remember me after I give them my phone number and they look up what Ive purchased (knows what I do for business and the kind of stuff Id be looking for). A bit pricy for batteries and external chargers but nothing beats the warranty and physically being able to travel down the road for an exchange if something happenes. Will continue to do business. A+++

This morning I found out my car battery was dead. After getting it jumped, I went to the Robert Street location, and with essentially no wait time had a new battery purchased and installed. I was helped by Mic, who delivered with excellent customer service. I will definitely be back to this location any time I have a need for a car battery in the future.

Very friendly and courteous staff. Brought in a watch for a new battery and found out it was slightly damaged when they started repairs. Took the time to explain what was wrong and tired what he could to fix it. Didnt work, but I really appreciate the help and the effort put into helping me
