How Ordering and Shipping Work at Batteries Inc
Updated
Batteries Inc runs a standard online store: you browse products, add items to a cart, and check out through a single checkout page at batteriesinc.net/checkout/. The site advertises Free Shipping, and product listings show both an original price and a discounted "current price," so the price you pay is the one shown at checkout. Before ordering, confirm the exact model number, quantity, and terminal type (for example, U terminals vs. NB terminals on the Power-Sonic sealed lead acid batteries), because those details determine whether the battery physically fits your application.
The ordering flow
- Find the product. Listings are organized by brand and type — Duracell and Energizer alkalines, Power-Sonic sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries, and assembled packs like the DL-40 Door Lock Battery Pack.
- Check the specs on the listing. For SLA batteries, the title carries the critical information: voltage, amp-hour capacity, and terminal style. Examples from the catalog:
- 12 Volt 100.0 AH Powersonic PS121000, U Terminals
- 12 Volt 35 AH Powersonic PS12350, NB Sealed Lead Acid
- 12 Volt 12 AH Powersonic PS12120F2 Terminals
- Add to cart. Each listing has an "Add to cart" action.
- Check out. The cart leads to the checkout page at
batteriesinc.net/checkout/, where the order total is finalized.
What the pricing looks like
Listings display a struck-through original price alongside a current sale price. A few examples from the site:

| Duracell Procell PCCR2 3V Lithium, 12/box | $42.00 | $27.60 |
| 9V Duracell PC1604 Procell, 12/box | $36.00 | $19.20 |
| 9V Energizer Industrial EN22, box of 12 | $30.00 | $18.60 |
| Power-Sonic PS121000, 12V 100 AH | $328.90 | $262.90 |
| Power-Sonic PS12550, 12V 55 AH | $229.00 | $137.50 |

Because these are sale prices, treat the figure shown at checkout as the one that applies to your order. The site does not publish a separate price list outside the product pages.
Shipping
The site states Free Shipping as a headline benefit. The available page content does not spell out the conditions — whether free shipping applies to every order, only to orders above a threshold, or only within certain regions. If shipping cost matters to your decision, confirm it at checkout before completing the order rather than assuming it applies to your cart.
Before you click "Add to cart"
- Match the terminal type. U terminals, NB (nut and bolt), and F2 terminals are not interchangeable in most equipment. The terminal code is in the product title for a reason.
- Match capacity, not just voltage. A 12V 12 AH and a 12V 100 AH battery are both "12 volt" but serve very different runtimes and physical footprints.
- Confirm chemistry. Alkaline (Duracell Procell, Energizer Industrial) is for disposable use; sealed lead acid (Power-Sonic) is rechargeable. Choosing the wrong chemistry means the battery won't work in a charger or device designed for the other type.
- Check pack quantity. Many listings are sold by the box — 12 per box for the CR123 and 9V items, 24 per box for the AAA Duracell PC2400 — so the unit price is per battery, not per box.
Common snags
- Sale prices change. The gap between original and current price varies widely across listings (some are roughly 30% off, others closer to 50%), which suggests promotions rotate. If you're comparing against another supplier, compare against the current price, not the original.
- Assembled packs vs. loose cells. Items like the DL-40 Door Lock Battery Pack are pre-assembled with specific cells (Duracell AA Coppertop in that case). If you need a specific cell inside the pack, check the description rather than assuming.
- No published shipping terms. Since the site only advertises "Free Shipping" without stated conditions, the checkout page is the authoritative source for your actual total.
