We all need batteries to make our lives run smoothly. At Action Batteries Unlimited, they have a saying: “It all starts with us.” They’re not exaggerating! Whether you’re powering your boat, your motorcycle, your car, or your favorite recreational toy, it’s always a hassle when the battery dies. It’s good to know there is a local place we can turn to for all our battery needs. 

 

Let’s say you bought a new power wheel jeep for your kids last Christmas. Over the winter, something happened to the battery, and now it’s not holding a charge. Or the camper is packed, the boat is in tow, and you are ready to leave. You go to test-start the boat…and it won’t. You need a specialty battery that big box stores won’t have, and there’s no time to buy anything online. What can you do?

 

You can stop by Action Batteries Unlimited, located at 7911 J Street. You can also visit the Action Batteries Unlimited website to fill out a form, and their friendly, knowledgeable staff will call you back with the information you need about the battery that works best for you. If, by some small chance, they don’t have the battery you need in stock, they will order it for you. 

 

Don’t know how to install the battery? With any battery purchase, you get free installation at their location. Don’t know what to do with the old battery? They are also a battery recycling center and will dispose of your old batteries properly. 

 

Gwyn Fuxa, CFO of Action Batteries Unlimited, encourages everyone with summer toys to be proactive with their care by purchasing a battery maintainer. A battery maintainer is a device that keeps a battery at an optimal charge level for extended periods, such as during the winter when you are not using your ATV or boat lift. The maintainer provides a trickle or float charge that keeps the battery at a safe level without overcharging it. This will extend the life of the batteries and help ensure that they will start the next time. 

 

If you haven’t been using a battery maintainer, swing by Action Batteries Unlimited for a free battery load test and alternator voltage inspection on all the battery-operated items you have not been using recently. If you choose to purchase a battery maintainer for your use at home, you can get one at Action Batteries Unlimited for around $30 to $40. 

 

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys giving a cool but practical gift, look no further than the NOCO charger. The NOCO charger is designed to safely jump-start a car when the battery is dead or too low to charge. This gift is great for all drivers but especially for new drivers who may not have any jump-starting experience. It simply connects to your vehicle battery via its clamps. Remember to fully recharge the unit after using it. 

 

The knowledgeable staff members at Action Batteries Unlimited understand the importance of batteries to people who rely on medical devices. They can assist you in purchasing the right batteries for everything from hearing aids to external defibrillators to electric wheelchairs. If one of your loved ones tends to forget to charge up their devices, you’ll get peace of mind from having a backup ready.

 

Action Batteries Unlimited was founded in 1982 by Gwyn’s father-in-law and continues to thrive, with plans to expand farther west in the near future. Gwyn attributes the company’s longevity to its commitment to quality customer service. She highly values the strong relationships they have built with repeat customers over the years. Much of the company’s growth has come through positive word of mouth, reflecting the trust that customers place in the team. 

 

“My car wouldn’t start, and my husband thought it just needed a new battery,” reports one customer. “When we brought it in, the battery checked out fine. Turns out, it was the alternator that was bad. Thanks for not trying to sell us something we didn’t need. When we do need a new battery, we’ll definitely be buying it from Action Batteries.”

 

Another customer stopped in to pick up marine batteries for a new trolling motor and was pleased to find them for sale at “about 20 percent less than at other retailers. Thanks for the advice on the setup of the batteries and saving me some cash. I’ll be back for my future batteries, too.”
