Battery Franchise Store Sales Continue to Climb

While the economy continues on a negative downturn, the battery retail segment remains positive with Batteries Plus leading the charge.

Batteries Plus, the nation’s first all-battery franchise with more than 340 locations, has consistently realized increases in same store sales, and year to date has a 20 percent increase in same store sales compared to 2007. The increased same store sales figures have contributed to increased interest in the Batteries Plus franchise opportunity, particularly among candidates who are shying away from struggling concepts.

Why is my lap top battery dead and it will no longer charge?

Laptop batteries have a limited amount of cycles they can go thru until they start to loose progressively the amount of charge they can hold.

1 cycle = 1 discharge and 1 recharge. Laptop batteries are usually good for 1000 cycles, so depending how often you go thru cycles will determine the life of your battery.

Batteries Plus can sometimes rebuild laptop batteries. This might be an option if you have tight budget or if your laptop is old as it will cost you half the cost of a new one and will work like new.

Always remember the cycle process I talked about above.

If you charge your battery when it's half full all the time instead of waiting for it to be empty, your battery will die twice faster.

Also, one good advice to expand the life of your battery, when it's full and you intend to work for a long period of time, just plug your laptop to the wall and TAKE OFF the battery so it doesn't overcharge and die prematurely

If my motorcycle battery is dead, should I jump start it from a car or truck?

You can but make sure you do the following:

1. Never start the car or truck when jump starting the bike.

2. Only Plug the positive cable onto the bike's battery, the negative cable should be touching a metal part on your bike.


This two steps will avoid you to overcharge the battery or damage your electrical system.
