News Update | China Hat 2011 and Shorai LFX Batteries

Updated on August 25, 2022
With the arrival of Spring to at least most of the USA, we see a major increase in the number of batteries leaving our warehouse to be installed in all brands and types of Powersports applications. While we at BatteryStuff.com appreciate the ‘crazy season’, it always amazes me how many batteries give up the ghost over the long winter. Mostly this is due to poor, or nonexistent maintenance procedures. With the cost of commodities on the rise purchasing a new smart charger is currently one of the best investments you can make, certainly more than money in the bank! read more...

Updated on January 26, 2016
We held an Open House yesterday, March 24, 2011. We had a great turn out! We celebrated our move to the new building, with more space than we know what to do with (yet).

Power When Away From Home | Using a Power Inverter

Updated on August 25, 2022
A power inverter running off a battery changes D.C. power to traditional A.C. power. You can use an inverter to supply power to devices such as televisions, microwaves, computers or power tools. They provide power in areas where you normally would not have access to standard 115-120 Volts AC from the power grid (ex: your home wall outlet). You simply connect the inverter to the battery and plug your device into the inverter. This is a great solution for having an easy to use, portable power supply. read more...

There are four stages involved in charging your vehicle’s wet battery. read more...

Moving is Tough | Photos of New Warehouse

Updated on April 20, 2012
Moving is tough. No matter how well you plan things out, there always seems to be something that causes a stir, gets left behind, or just plain jumps out and surprises you.

In fact, our total disruption of service due to the move was only about 4 hours. With that, we can be confident that our customer service is still world class and our move was nearly seamless. read more...
