H.C. Baker Batteries & Electronics — Local services in Roanoke

This place is fantastic! First, their battery prices are significantly lower than Walmart's and Sam's, and their prices vs. Amazon's lowest are so close that either may be the cheapest by a few cents. Second, they will install WITHOUT CHARGE the batteries you buy from them in most common devices, such as watches, your car's keys/keyless entry devices, cell phones, uninterruptible power supply computer backup units, calculators, digital scales, fitness bands, tablets and readers, and all kinds of portable electronics and other devices: they know how to do it. Third, IT people take note: they have all kinds of cables, connectors, and adapters in stock. Finally, they just have a lot of neat stuff like smart devices that interface with Alexa/Amazon Echo Dot, Google, etc., chargers of all types (cell phone, and so forth), lights, safety lights, flashlights, and other stuff. And their hospitality is nice, too... You can have a free soft drink or water while you shop. Highly recommended! They are hard to spot from the road. They are across from McDonald's and immediately next door to the BP gas station on...

If they do not have the part you need the majority of the time they can order it for you. Its kinda like an old fashioned Radio shack... Where you can actually buy components, not cell phone cases and radio controlled toys. Now just remember they do not sell that many connectors but they usually have individual parts to build a circuit or two. The staff there can work with you to find a part you need. They are a pleasure to shop with. Sometimes they will also give out free drinks with purchase. Stop in get a look around... If you need a power wheels battery they should have it. Need a diode to fix a old Ham or Cb radio they should have...

My visits to H C Baker in the 1950’s were responsible for me becoming a Ham Radio operator! A great resource, Check them out. If you need electronic components and equipment this...
