batteryBob.com - Small batteries for almost anything!

We strive to provide the highest levels of customer satisfaction and top quality brand products from Maxell, Panasonic, Sanyo, Energizer, Duracell, Sony, Empire Scientific, Synergy Digital and many others.

There are no refurbished or used batteries sold by reputable merchants. Counterfeit, old and end-of-life-cycle merchandise is dumped at low prices by some vendors on auction sites and clearance venues: caveat emptor! Batteries can be risky, (the battery industry pays millions for out of court settlements and hush money over exploding camera batteries and fire balls of laptops) just don't take the chance to save a few pennies.

The USPS charges $1.60 and we discount that to $1.17 average. If the USPS loses, destroys or the shipment is stolen you get immediate replacement by notifying us by email; you fill out no paperwork.

UPS automatically insures all shipments up to $100, that's one reason why businesses choose UPS. Insurance above $100 and up is available at a nominal rate. UPS has a terrific package tracking system. They are the preferred choice but more expensive than USPS for small orders. We use the new USPS SCAN (Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notification) system on our Delivery Confirmation shipments. You will be able to use that number on the USPS web site and usually see your package was given to the care, custody and control of the USPS. The previous method only showed a vague message that the USPS was electronically notified your package would be shipped.
