Power - by Joe Weber - updated on 11/7/2025

In a world where every little service seems to come with a fee, finding a place that solves your problems for free feels like a hidden secret. That's the surprise many people discover every day at Batteries Plus. While you know them as the experts for car batteries and phone repairs, you might be missing out on a list of complementary services designed to save you time, money, and stress. From getting a definitive answer on your dying car battery to safely recycling old electronics, we're about to show you all the value waiting for you at your local store.

1. Free Car & Truck Battery Testing

There's nothing worse than the uncertainty of a weak car battery. Before you spend money on a new one, let our experts test your current battery for free. Using the latest equipment, we can tell you exactly how much life it has left. It's the perfect way to get peace of mind before a long road trip, during a heatwave, or ahead of that first winter cold snap.

Actually, we test all types of batteries. Just stop in to have one of our in-store experts test your battery to see how it's faring.

2. Free Phone & Tablet Diagnostics

Is your phone or tablet battery draining faster than it used to? Before you consider an expensive replacement, bring it to us for a free diagnostic check. Maybe your device is malfunctioning, the charger isn't working right, or the camera is failing. Bring it to us and we will diagnose your device so you know what's wrong, and get it fixed.

3. Free Car & Truck Battery Recycling

That old car or truck battery sitting in the corner of your garage is more than just clutter. It's a heavy, hazardous item that can't be thrown in the regular trash. Instead of letting it leak or take up space, bring it to us. We make it easy to be environmentally responsible by accepting your old vehicle batteries for recycling at no cost. We'll ensure every part of that battery is handled correctly, keeping harmful lead and acid out of landfills and putting reusable materials back into the supply chain. It's the smartest, simplest, and safest way to dispose of your old auto battery.

4. Free Key Fob Testing & Lifetime Battery Replacements

When your key fob stops working, the big question is: is it a simple battery issue or a costly fob replacement? Before you worry, let our experts diagnose the problem for free. We use specialized equipment to test both your battery's strength and your fob's signal, giving you a clear answer in seconds. If a new battery is all you need, we offer the ultimate solution: our lifetime key fob battery replacement program. You simply purchase the battery once, and we will replace it for free from then on, for as long as you own your vehicle. It's a complete start-to-finish service—a free, expert diagnosis followed by a one-time purchase that provides a lifetime of savings and convenience.

5. Free On-Site Assessments for Businesses

Running a business is complex enough without having to worry about tracking down dozens of different types of light bulbs, specialty batteries, and power solutions. That's why having a Batteries Plus Business Account comes in handy. Our commercial services team offers a free on-site needs assessment. One of our local experts will visit your facility—whether it's a warehouse, medical clinic, or office building—to help you identify your specific power and lighting needs.

We'll identify significant cost-saving opportunities, suggest upgrades to more energy-efficient solutions like LEDs, and establish a streamlined supply program tailored specifically to your needs. It's a no-obligation way to simplify your purchasing, reduce your overhead, and ensure you always have what you need to keep operations running smoothly.

Your Local Problem-Solvers Are Waiting

As you can see, the value at Batteries Plus extends far beyond our shelves. We're a team of expert problem-solvers dedicated to making your life easier, safer, and more efficient. From a quick, free diagnostic that saves you from buying a new phone to a lifetime of key fob batteries, we're here to provide real solutions.

So, the next time you have a power or device problem, don't guess—get an expert. Stop by your neighborhood Batteries Plus today and let our team take care of the rest.
