I bought a new battery for my 2010 camper van. I asked for the best battery for the vehicle and bought the recommended AGM battery for $280+. The battery went dead and the store recharged it for me. I put it back in the van but had some trouble keeping it charged. It tested out fine in the store. I checked for parasitic loads myself after buying several instruments but couldn't find anything. I then took it to a Ford dealer in Butte, Montana. They fully checked out the electrical system and recommended I get a new traditional lead acid battery. I came back to the Batteries Plus store and discussed these issues with them. I will say that the staff is professional and courteous. Pete is a gentleman. I bought another new battery from the Batteries Plus store, a lead acid battery as recommended by the dealer. I left the AGM battery at the store, they tested it for a week and said the battery was fine. The Ford dealer said the same thing except they said the vehicle was not set up to charge that battery properly and thus recommended I replace it. The battery was recommended to me by the Batteries Plus store. They maintain the vehicle should work fine on that battery but the dealer mechanic disagrees. Since the van is now working fine again with the traditional battery I have to agree with the dealer. The store gave me a 10% discount on the new lead acid battery but that was al they would do. I feel they should have done much more as I bought the battery they...
Read moreI came here about 6-7 months ago and bought a car battery. About a month ago I started having to continuously jump my car after sitting no more than a night or two. When I bought the battery, I was told that if I have any problems, I can ust bring it in and it would be replaced under warranty. (Not a single word was mentioned that I would have to have the battery recharged first) Upon going in to get it replaced, I was turned away due to an early closure for construction (which is understandably coincidental). The next day I returned first thing in the morning and they told me that I either needed to go out and buy a battery charger or leave it there for them to charge it so they can make sure it truly needs replaced. This was very unfortunate as I now have to figure out a way to get to work as well as return the following day, again, to hopefully have it sorted out. I have a basic car with nothing extra sucking power and have never left any lights on. I would recommend shopping elsewhere for a car battery if you would like a more reliable battery or at least a hassle free warranty otherwise you might be out of a vehicle for longer...
Read moreUsually my husband and I have had good experiences with Batteries Plus. We went in Wednesday evening to get a battery for my Toyota Camry, I had called that morning asked for one to be put on hold. We went in a little after five pm to pick it up and their was nothing on hold for me even though I gave my full name and phone number. The associate working gave me a battery that was to small for my car my husband struggled to install the battery finally gets it in and I walk back in to see if I can order a correct size since he said I have a week to exchange and then tells me he does indeed have the right one in stock so both my husband and I are somewhat frustrated at this point and my husband switches out thr battery without any help from the associate. I was not happy with our experience AT ALL and will not be recommending anyone...
