As a generator service provider, businesses count on you to keep their backup systems ready when it matters most. That means having the right battery on hand without any delays. At Batteries Plus, we offer top-quality replacement batteries for Generac, Kohler, and other major generator brands. Here's a quick rundown of how Batteries Plus can support you.

Consult your generator's owner's manual for sizing and type requirements before purchasing a replacement generator battery, or an upgraded AGM battery.

Some generators do not support charging for AGM batteries. We've left AGM batteries off this list to account for that.

Why Is a Good Generator Battery Important?

A reliable generator battery is crucial for all businesses, large and small because it ensures backup power is ready when needed. Here are a few key reasons why a good generator battery is essential:

1. Minimizes Downtime and Revenue Loss

During power outages, businesses rely on generators to keep operations running. A high-quality battery ensures the generator starts reliably, minimizing downtime. Even a short disruption can lead to lost revenue, reduced productivity, and unhappy customers for retail, healthcare, or manufacturing companies.

2. Protects Sensitive Equipment

Sudden power interruptions can damage sensitive electronics and equipment. A UPS Backup system can provide some protection but a dependable generator with a great battery enables a smooth, immediate transition to backup power, protecting essential systems from surges, sudden shutdowns, and data loss.

3. Enhances Customer Trust

When customers know your business remains operational even during outages, it builds trust. Consistent service, regardless of external circumstances, strengthens your reputation and reassures clients that they can rely on you.

4. Supports Critical Safety Systems

For facilities where safety is a top priority (e.g., hospitals, data centers, and warehouses), a generator with a reliable battery keeps critical systems like lighting, alarms, and emergency communication online. This ensures employee safety and may be legally required in certain industries.

5. Reduces Maintenance and Replacement Costs

A high-quality generator battery lasts longer, requires less maintenance, and is less likely to fail unexpectedly. This helps reduce the frequency of replacements and associated maintenance costs, which can add up over time.

6. Ensures Compliance with Regulations

Many businesses, especially those in healthcare, food storage, and data management, are subject to regulations that mandate reliable backup power. A dependable generator battery is essential for compliance, avoiding fines, and maintaining industry standards.

A good generator battery is more than just a backup power source – it's a crucial part of a business's continuity plan, protecting assets, people, and reputation during unexpected power disruptions.

Is It Important to Maintain Your Generator Battery?

Yes, maintaining your generator battery is essential for ensuring your generator functions reliably when you need it most.

Here are several key reasons why regular generator battery maintenance is so important:

  1. Ensures readiness during power outages
  2. Extends battery lifespan
  3. Prevents costly downtime
  4. Reduces the risk of unexpected failures
  5. Optimizes generator performance
  6. Improves safety
  7. Saves on repair and replacement costs
  8. Ensures compliance with regulations

How Batteries Plus Helps Make Your Job Easier

At Batteries Plus, we fully understand the unique challenges facing generator service professionals. Here are a few of the ways we work to help make your job easier.

Problem: Are you stuck with low-quality batteries that don't last?

Low-quality batteries with short lifespans can result in frequent replacements, added expenses, and increased maintenance time. When reliability is critical, cutting corners with inferior batteries just isn't an option.

Our Solution: At Batteries Plus, we provide only high-quality batteries from trusted brands like Duracell. This ensures you're investing in products that deliver consistent performance, helping reduce replacements and giving you peace of mind.

Problem: Receiving batteries that aren't fully charged?

Nothing's worse than receiving batteries that aren't ready to go. Uncharged batteries can disrupt your schedule and delay essential repairs or installations, costing you time and impacting customer satisfaction.

Our Solution: We maintain our battery inventory daily, so every battery is fully charged and ready for immediate use when it leaves our local stores. With Batteries Plus, you can trust that your batteries will arrive charged and ready to work.

Problem: Missing a recycling option for old battery cores?

Getting rid of old battery cores can be a headache. If your vendor doesn't offer recycling options, you're left handling disposal yourself, which adds unnecessary steps and potential costs to your operation.

Our Solution: Batteries Plus not only recycles battery cores, but most of our locations will also pick them up directly from your facility, streamlining disposal and keeping you compliant with environmental standards.

Problem: Frustrated by batteries without handles?

Transporting and installing batteries without handles can be difficult and even risky. Without a secure grip, handling these batteries can become a time-consuming, cumbersome, and potentially dangerous task.

Our Solution: We understand the importance of convenience and safety. That's why all our batteries come with handles, making them easier to carry, transport, and install, so your team can work more efficiently and safely.

Problem: Dealing with long lead times for orders?

Waiting days for a battery order can be frustrating, especially when you're under pressure to get equipment back up and running. Lengthy lead times can disrupt your schedule and slow down your service.

Our Solution: With over 700 locations nationwide, we keep thousands of batteries in stock for immediate pickup or delivery. Plus, our distribution center holds significant inventory for drop-shipping if you need it, helping you avoid delays.

Problem: Facing shortages during peak seasons?

During peak times, demand can surge, leaving you vulnerable to shortages if your vendor can't keep up. Running out of crucial batteries at critical moments can harm your reputation and leave clients disappointed.

Our Solution: Batteries Plus keeps essential stock on hand in our stores year-round and delivers promptly, even during peak seasons. We'll work with you to ensure you have what you need when demand is high.

Problem: Lacking a local partner for warranty support and service?

Not having a reliable partner for warranty service and support can make it difficult to address issues quickly. Without local assistance, you may be faced with delays, not to mention the added hassle of resolving product issues.

Our Solution: Between a dedicated account representative and our 700+ locations, there's always someone available to support your business needs. Whether it's warranty service, technical assistance, or general support, Batteries Plus is here for you every day of the week.
