Batteries Plus Bulbs

Brought my daughter’s I-​phone 6 in to the store to have the cracked screen repaired. Technician put on a new screen but the home button was damaged during the process. He knocked 20 dollars off the repair price and ordered a new home button and cable.
Went back a few days later to have the home button fixed. He was unable to fix it. He sent the phone in to a higher level service facility. They broke the phone. They gave me a replacement phone (used) about a week later. I took it over to T-​mobile to have the SIM card placed into it and it was not a T-​mobile phone. I immediately drove over to Batteries Plus Bulbs and complained. (This was my 4^th visit to the store and I was pissed.) Danny listened to my recount of what had happened and took ownership of this problem. He ordered me a brand new I-​phone and called me twice to check in and let me know how things were going with obtaining it. I got the phone a week later and it works on the T-​mobile network. I was pretty unhappy with how everything went down until the awesome customer service by Danny. This is why I am giving 5 stars. Thanks Danny!

5 out of 5 stars definitely is an amazing store and the employees are very helpful and nice. I brought in my Nikon cool pix 9100 and told them that it wasn’t video recording anymore but it is taking pictures very odd. I was wondering if it was the camera itself that was damaged and buying a new battery might not do it much good. The manager there ordered a specialized battery for this camera and told me when it comes in you can test it before you buy, so amazing I came back in 36 – 48 hours the delivery was very fast, I got to test the camera with the new battery and it in fact was the battery not the camera video functionality. This business is amazing and they have batteries for just about all products in the market there is nothing they cant order and get to you in a reasonable time and a reasonable price. I will recommend this company to everyone.

Who wouldn’t want to spend an entire Sunday afternoon checking out every single drug store and hardware store in a 10 mile radius looking for a specific size battery?!! Well I must say this was exactly what we experienced on this particularly beautiful delta breeze laced Sunday afternoon. Yep… I was in search of a LR44/​6V battery and D and I went to 4 stores before we ended up at Batteries+Bulbs in the Grove. Our «battery scavenger hunt» took some serious perseverance, and I give all the credit to the encouragement of my bestie and copilot for helping me! By the way we did do the battery dance when we found it at Batteries+Bulbs… Just sayin ;)
In sum…
Importance & need: High!
Total time spent: approximately 2 hours.
Conclusion:
If you know that you need an odd or unusual sized battery, such as the 4LR44/​6V like I needed, don’t wast your time going where you «always» go… just go Batteries+Bulbs. You’ll be in and out in a flash and you will be pleased with the service.

I needed to change my key fob battery. I came in asking only for the battery. Aiden asked me which size battery, I shown him my key fob, and then he took it out of my hand and said «here let me install it for you» (even though I know how to do it and it takes about 5 seconds). So instead of buying a set of 2 batteries, he installed and charged me an «install fob kit» which cost $ 5.39 and if I wanted the second battery, I would have to pay another $ 4. Now to me $ 5 isn’t much but it’s the principle behind this.

Perfectly helpful, very friendly to my mom and her bag of weird «these need batteries» stuff.
Very nice. Thank you.

Batteries+ was very helpful and had the unique battery I needed in-​stock! My APC backup battery for my iMac suddenly died after several years of usage so I pulled out the battery and took it over to Batteries+. I didn’t realize that the battery pack was actually 2 batteries attached to each other with a plastic joint and wired together to produce one output. The worker took it apart, replaced the battery, and plugged it back together exactly how I brought it. I was impressed! I would have expected them (like other stores) to tell me to take it apart myself and build it back to reduce the risk of breaking it themselves. I will be back for most of my battery and lighting needs!
Tip: Ask them about SMUD and manufacture rebate specials. I managed to get away with 75% to 50% off of the expensive LED bulbs and replaced ½ my house lights with them.

Once again a great experience here. All the staff is very patient and helpful. Brought fluorescent bulbs and a fixture. E wate was free. Had to pay a very small fee for bulbs.

They replaced the battery of my watch real quick. Satisfied with their customer service, friendly staff.

They carry stuff I’ve never heard of! An «N» battery needed for a clock! And the battery for my car key fob which they changed out for me in a flash! They are so nice and so helpful. Wouldn’t go anyplace else if I’m looking for something unusual. My phone battery died, or so I thought, and I came in to get a new one. The guy who helped me said if the battery didn’t revive the phone (landline), he told me to bring in the phone. Which I did, and it turned out the phone had taken it’s last breath. Where can you get service like that anymore?

Needed a replacement bulb for my kitchen recessed lighting (13W something or other), brought the dead one with me and the first person to help me found it right away, within minutes of me stepping into the door. Rang me up super quick, easy.
Dad also had a question about a specific car battery they carry for one of our cars. The female employee wasn’t able to help but referred us to Aidan who talked us through comparing the available options and pricing. We did end up making the purchase and they helped us carry it out to the car, and they do take the old batteries and recycle. Not too painful of an experience.
They carry lots of bulbs and batteries of course, from cell phones to cordless phones (for those who still use those at home), LED bulbs, flood lights, motion sensors, all the way from cordless power tools to cars, tractors and boats! Conveniently located.

I used to work here so I saw firsthand how Nathan runs his crew at B+B and I’ve gotta commend the team for their hard work that makes a visit to the shop so effortless and enjoyable. Way to go guys! SV1 included ;P

I went in at 8:25 to buy a car battery because they had the cheapest one for my car that I could find in Elk Grove. I felt terrible being «that person» going in 5 min before closing, but the staff were not only cool about it, they were really helpful. I wasn’t expecting them to install the new battery for me, but they did it anyway, even though by that time they were technically closed. I would definitely recommend this business.

Great store. Friendly, helpful and competent employees.

I came in to get my camera fix on my iPhone. I was helped by Natan. Who is (THE MAN) by the way went above and beyond to help me get my phone bacc in working order. I recommend you stop by next time you phone issues

I went there today to buy some light bulbs, staff were very courteous and they help me find a right light bulb. Thank you

Was in the Elk Grove area and my lady’s Michael Kor’s watch battery died so we wanted to get it replaced… We don’t live in elk grove so we didn’t know if they had a battery’s place but they did! It’s in a good location as well!
There is plenty of parking and the employees that work there are really nice and made sure we were satisfied! The gentlemen greeted us right away and took her watch right away and we were out within 15 minutes.
Quick, friendly and efficient!

I went here for a battery with a because mine had died, but ended up walking out with a newfound appreciation of my ’04 Toyota Camry.
My main experience was with Colby, one of the customer service associates there. He saw my mom coaching me on how to add oil to my car, and came over and said something — I don’t remember what — that turned into a full-​on instructional session. Now I know how to check all of the fluids in my car, and how to clean and replace the cabin air filter — things I’ve been wanting to learn how to do for a while.
The best part about this is he didn’t even have to take the time out of his day to do all of that — it wasn’t even part of his job. But I will be forever grateful for the knowledge he imparted me and the endless money I’ll save from being able to check/​add my own car fluids. Thanks Colby!
Oh, and yeah… about the battery! The prices are pretty good. And they have pretty good reviews online as well.

I came in because two of my recessed lights went out in my kitchen. Given the height of these lights I hadn’t gotten up there yet to replace them, so I was hoping that they might be able to help me out. Thankfully I was, and went home with two bulbs we were pretty sure would work. And boy did they! It’s so nice having light in my kitchen again. Thank you to the gentlemen that helped me pick out the right bulbs. :)

I have very mixed feelings about Batteries Plus. First of all, they do not seem that cheap. Secondly, they do not have the best selection of hard to find batteries. My third problem with this place involves honesty.
After going to the AAA next door, I stopped to see if they rebuilt Dewalt 18v batteries. The guy behind the counter told me they did indeed rebuild Dewalt 18v batteries for the low price of $ 50 but that I could get a much better battery if I bought one of their rebuilt batteries instead for $ 85.
I decided to have two of my batteries rebuilt instead for $ 100 ($ 50 each) so I came back with my batteries and a different person waited on me this time. When I asked him the difference between how my batteries were going to be when they finished rebuilding them and the one they guy tried to sell me for $ 85, he seemed to think they were going to do the same thing to my batteries and they would be the same. Which of these guys am I suppose to believe?
My batteries are working just fine, thank you.

Crazy selection of batteries car batteries… cell phone batteries… rechargeable batteries… watch batteries…
I was helped by a nice young dude, emphasis on the duude. He appeared to be skilled at his craft, although he couldn’t quite save my keyless entry clicker after I jacked it up trying to install a battery myself. Lesson learned: take it here and let them do it.
FIRST!
