Grilling is one of those things that makes summer special. There's nothing better than cooking your favorite food outdoors while relaxing with family and friends. If you're planning to throw the ultimate backyard barbecue, Batteries Plus can help. We carry everything from a wide range of batteries, to solar power solutions to electric lanterns and more. Browse our handy checklist of grilling accessories below.

Batteries & Gear Ties for Grills & Utensils

Be sure to have the right batteries on hand for all of your grilling utensils, including:

• Alkaline batteries - used in battery-powered grills
• Coin cell batteries - for cooking thermometers
• Power bank - a great way to charge cordless blenders & other USB-rechargeable gadgets
• Gear ties - a convenient way to attach tools to your grill and keep them close at hand

Bring Portable Power to Your Barbecue

If you plan on hosting a large-scale barbecue off-site, you'll probably want to have an additional power source to run things like fridges, crock pots and coffee makers. A portable power station from Goal Zero is a great alternative to generators, which can be too loud for a party setting. Goal Zero power stations:

• Can be charged through a wall outlet, from your car or via solar energy using a Goal Zero solar panel (not included)
• Are equipped with multiple charging ports
• The Yeti 200X and Yeti 500X are ideal models for outdoor gatherings

If you plan on partying into the night, you'll want to be sure your backyard has enough exterior lighting.

• Check the bulbs in your exterior lights and replace any that have burned out
• Keep a few flashlights or electric lanterns on hand
• Glow sticks can be placed on tables or throughout your yard (available in red, white, blue & green)
• A SlapLit LED Drink Wrap is a light-up drink cozie, perfect for after-dark parties (available in red, blue or American flag pattern)
• Disk lights are perfect for illuminating walkways (available in slate, gray and silver)
