Make Back-to-School Shopping Simple with Batteries Plus
- by Joe Weber - updated on 8/1/2024
Sending your kids back to school, especially to college for the first time, can be a colossal undertaking. From packing, purchasing textbooks, the dreaded move-in day and learning the layout of the campus, there's a lot to tackle.
Batteries Plus can make things easier by providing you with the chargers, batteries and other essentials they need to power things like laptops and phones and keep vehicles performing reliably while they are away from home.
Shop Laptop Batteries and Chargers at Batteries Plus
Laptops have become standard equipment for students. Long gone are the days of a pen and a notebook, but laptops are only as good as the battery that powers them. Trust me, being tethered to an outlet is not ideal and adds even more stress to the already stressful life of a college student.
A typical laptop battery will run at its peak performance capabilities between one and two years. After that, it may experience slower recharge times, shorter usable life and even crashing.
We carry new user-replaceable laptop batteries for all major brands and offer battery installation services for those laptops with internal batteries. Plus, we can recycle your old battery to help keep batteries out of landfills.
Batteries Plus Fixes Phones!
Before sending your child off to college, you'll want to ensure they have a cell phone they can rely on to communicate with friends and family. Just like with laptops, a cell phone's performance depends largely on the condition of its battery, which begins to degrade after about two years.
Batteries Plus makes it easy to check your phone's performance. Just stop into any of our 700+ stores and we'll perform a diagnostic service on your phone, free of charge.
If the battery in your phone is past its prime or you aren't getting the life you expect, our repair technicians can get you up and running like new with a new battery. We can also fix issues like cracked screens, broken buttons or malfunctioning ports. Whatever is going on with your phone, we can help! Book your appointment online today to have our WISE-certified technicians make your phone work like new again.
Don't Forget About Phone Cases and Chargers
Phones are expensive to replace, and who wants to constantly bring their phone in for repair when damages can easily be prevented? Shop our selection of phone cases to protect your phone from drops!
Do you need a new spare charger, USB cable or screen protector? Check out our Phone Essentials page for all the essentials and much more.
What are the Must-Have Dorm Room Gadgets?
Batteries Plus offers plenty of little extras perfect for campus life. Gear ties are great for helping secure and protect cords when space is tight. Or, pick up a power bank so they can charge their phone when they're on the go.
Our stores also carry additional extras to make campus life easier like spare laptop chargers, surge protectors and UPS backup systems for when the power goes out when you're working on an important paper.
Batteries Plus is Your Auto Headquarters
Are you sending a loved one off to college with a vehicle? If so, you'll want to make sure their vehicle is as reliable as possible. Drive the car, truck or SUV to the nearest Batteries Plus to have the battery and charging system tested for free.
Is it time for a new car battery? Get them set up with a new battery to start their car in those cold winters and hot summers with ease. We carry top-quality batteries from the most trustworthy brands like Duracell Ultra and X2Power, plus most locations offer installation services on most vehicles.
Even better, if your child encounters any problems with their battery while they're away at school, they can bring their vehicle into any Batteries Plus and have their battery tested. With 700+ locations throughout the country, there's sure to be a store near their campus.
Our stores also carry other automotive essentials like new wiper blades, headlight bulbs, auto fuses, plus booster cables and jump starters for emergencies. Need a new key fob or car key remote? Our employees program new key fobs and swap out batteries in existing car remotes.
