Batteries + Bulbs

If you thought they did cell phone repair: forget that. They were the first place I and anyone I asked thought about because of good advertising.
I guess I phones break more, cause if you have a droid you’re out of luck.
I wouldn’t be so annoyed, but the person didn’t even know who could help me. If you’re marketing repair and can’t do it, if you told me who could I may come back to you for some other need.
Nope. Don’t shop here.

I recently needed to replace the battery on my Polar heart rate monitor. One would think that the perfect place for this was a store with word «battery» in its title. Well, my friend, if this was your philosophy you are wrong.
I walked in and explained to Steve what I needed. Like a true professional, he took out a tool of his trade to remove the backing piece that secures the battery. That is correct, he took out a quarter. Steve then began to try to open the sensor’s cover for a few seconds by unscrewing it with the quarter.
When that failed to work, like an artisan of his craft, Steve moved to his next option. He began banging it on the counter. This was very similar to a gorilla attempting to open a coconut. I politely asked him to be careful and asked him if he could be careful and if he had a something more practical to use, like a screwdriver.
Steve, then handed me back the sensor and said, «Here, why don’t you do it?!» I left and just ordered the batteries on Amazon. The store may be a good option if you want to make a purchase and bring it home. However, I would not recommend asking Steve to perform any task other than swiping your debit card.

Great service. I went there to replace a small batterie in a measuring device and I was in and out in about 5 minutes. They recycled some batteries and light bulbs and even diagnosed a problem that I was having with my digital recording device! Highly recommended!

I needed my iPhone screen replaced. I went there on a referral of a friend. My phone was fixed in an hour & looks great. My only gripe is that my friend that referred me was charged $ 120 for a screen replacement & a new battery on the same exact phone. We were charged that same amount for just the screen. Was still $ 10 less then other places but I didn’t appreciate the differing prices.

They had what I needed in stock. A serviceable spot for most types of batteries. To include motor batteries. Parking and traffic sucks as its near the mall.

I was in a bind and they repaired my iPhone’s phone screen same day, in just 2 hours. It was a little pricier than some other options I have seen, but was really impressed with the turnaround and the phone is working great so far.

Great team here at Batteries+. I saw their sign in the window about the service to repair broken or cracked smart phone screens — on premises. So when I dropped my 64gb iPhone 5 i came over with my iphone. Later that day they had it ready for me in perfect health.
I highly recommend their phone screen repair services! I happen to break my screen again (hope not) I’ll be back.

We had an outstanding experience at Batteries + and we will definitely be back.
At our seasonal motorhome «check up,» we learned that we needed three batteries and it would cost $ 750 including installation. We opted to do it ourselves and purchased them at Batteries + on the way home. Great, we were happy. Installed them, we were even happier.
Happiest? Well that came when our salesperson, Peyton, called a week later. Two of the three batteries went on sale the next day (for a combined $ 85 savings), so he had the self initiative to talk with his manager and once he received his approval, Peyton called us to arrange for a refund of the difference in the sale cost. We are so impressed with this young man and we will be repeat customers because of him.
As if that wasn’t enough, Peyton arranged for us to finalize this transaction in our hometown of Olympia, for our convenience — and called us while we were at Batteries + in Oly just to make sure we were satisfied. Outstanding customer service. This kid will go far!
By the way, the employees at the Olympia location were also very helpful and informative. And, we have our three new batteries (better than the ones quoted by the big retailer service dept) for $ 300.

Great place. super helpful & knowledgable. What else can I say about a battery store… I always know I will find what I need here.

Love this place — I never thought there would be a place that just sold batteries — but there is — and it seems to have an extensive selection.
They have always had the battery I needed at a fair price and they are always friendly and helpful.

Was referred to Battieries Plus Tacoma by a friend. Tech was helpful in finding a replacement laptop battery. It was ~$ 99.95. I asked him if I could use my 10% off coupon. He said fine. When he began to ring the sale I brought up the 10% off coupon on my smart phone and he said you have to have the paper coupon. Whaa? I showed him the code on the smart phone and asked if his manager could approve the exception. He said no… must be a paper coupon. People are no dummies. Batteries Plus finance policies have set this up so people with smart phones and coupon codes will give up and pay the difference to get their problem solved. Cha Ching Batteries Plus just made another 10% with little effort.
This is a good example of subtle bait and switch – the on line coupon states «must present coupon» to most that means a smart phone screen coupon is just fine. But no these folks want to extract every penny so they insist on a paper print out of the on line coupon. (Is that an oxymoron) They also have not empowered their staff to use common sense to provide better customer service!
Management has developed a culture employing inflexible staff who refuse to see the bigger picture of giving the better value to your customer.
PS. I went on line and bought the same laptop battery for $~25 including shipping.

Batteries, batteries, batteries. With so many modern gadgets running on so many different types of battery power, it is actually quite useful to have a store nearby that specializes in batteries and *battery accessories*.
This small shop stocks everything from tiny ‘button’ batteries to heavy duty marine deep cycles. If you’re looking for a specific battery that they don’t carry, there’s a good chance the staff will be able to order it for you or recommend another place to try. If you just need a couple for AAs for the remote control, they’ve got hose too. Each time I’ve visited this store I’ve been treated to friendly, professional, and prompt service from the staff– not at all the experience of trying to find a specific product at a big-​box retailer.
Batteries Plus also sells a good selection of accessories (chargers, cables, inverters, etc.), battery-​operated gadgets, and light bulbs.

All things batteries; that’s Batteries Plus. Need a spare laptop battery? BP has it. Need a replacement PDA battery? BP has it, and they’ll install it for you. Need a battery for almost any device? BP has it or they can get it for you.
(My one exception, a replacement battery for my old, purchased-​in-​Japan shaver, and I found one at All Electric Shavers Center which BP recommended!)
I’ve purchased flashlights at BP, also batteries (alkaline, rechargeable, and «heavy duty»), and battery cases (to keep ‘em dry and handy) and keychain flashlights, and battery tester, and so much more.
Women! Keep your men away from this place. Gadget-​loving guys can spend an hour in here!
Do you need an inexpensive present for a man? Here’s a good place to look!
Brian Kastner helped me the first time I was in there. He knew the answers as soon as I asked the question — no looking it up in a catalog. And he knew just where it was stocked.
There’s also a sister store in Olympia.

This is a good place.
