What Is Batteries Inc and What Does It Sell?

Updated

Batteries Inc (batteriesinc.net) is an online battery retailer that sells name-brand consumer batteries in wholesale and bulk quantities, plus custom-assembled battery packs. It is aimed at buyers who need more than a single retail pack — businesses, repair shops, facilities, and anyone sourcing batteries by the box or case. If you only need one or two batteries, the site still works, but its structure and pricing are built around multi-unit and bulk orders.

What the site is positioned as

The site describes itself as "your primary source for batteries: wholesale, bulk, and custom battery packs." That framing tells you the intended audience: buyers who purchase in volume or need a pack built to a specific voltage and configuration, rather than walk-in retail customers.

Free shipping is promoted on the site, which matters most for bulk orders where shipping weight would otherwise add up.

What it sells

Branded consumer batteries

The catalog carries well-known brands including Duracell, Energizer, Power-Sonic, Omni-Cel, and Rayovac. Common formats include:

  • Alkaline: 9V, AAA, and AA cells sold by the box (for example, 12-packs and 24-packs)
  • Lithium: CR123 and PCCR2 3-volt cells sold 12 per box
  • Sealed lead acid (SLA), rechargeable: 12V batteries in a range of capacities

Sealed lead acid batteries

The SLA lineup is where the bulk and industrial focus shows most clearly. Listed capacities include 12V at 100 AH, 55 AH, 35 AH, 28 AH, 26 AH, 18 AH, and 12 AH, with terminal types such as U terminals, NB (nut and bolt), and F2. These are the batteries used in UPS units, alarm systems, mobility equipment, and similar applications.

Custom battery packs

Beyond individual cells, the site sells assembled packs — for example, a 6V alkaline door lock battery pack built with Duracell AA Coppertop cells. This is the "custom battery packs" part of the positioning: if a device needs a specific voltage or form factor that isn't a standard retail item, a pack can be assembled to match.

How pricing works

The site runs frequent sale pricing, with original and current prices shown side by side. A few examples from the catalog:

Product Original price Current price
Duracell Procell Intense CR123, 12/box $48.00 $27.60
Duracell Procell PCCR2, 12/box $42.00 $27.60
9V Duracell PC1604 Procell, 12/box $36.00 $19.20
9V Energizer Industrial EN22, 12/box $30.00 $18.60
Power-Sonic PS121000, 12V 100 AH $328.90 $262.90
Power-Sonic PS12550, 12V 55 AH $229.00 $137.50
Power-Sonic PS12120F2, 12V 12 AH $64.08 $34.45

Prices change, so treat these as examples of the discount pattern rather than fixed figures. Checkout is handled through the site's own checkout page.

Who it fits

  • Good fit: buyers ordering by the box or case, anyone replacing SLA batteries in equipment, and anyone who needs a non-standard pack assembled from name-brand cells.
  • Less of a fit: someone who wants a single AA or 9V battery at retail convenience-store pricing, or who needs same-day local pickup.

What to check before ordering

  1. Match the exact model number, not just the voltage. SLA batteries with the same voltage differ in capacity (AH) and terminal type (U, NB, F2), and the wrong terminal won't fit your equipment.
  2. Confirm quantity per unit. Many listings are priced per box of 12 or 24, so the unit price is per cell while the line price is per box.
  3. Verify the pack specification if ordering a custom assembly — voltage, cell type, and connector need to match the device.
  4. Watch sale pricing, since discounts on this site are substantial and change over time.
