Batteries Plus (stylized as Batteries+, formerly Batteries Plus Bulbs stylized as Batteries+Bulbs) is an American retail chain of 600+ franchise outlets[2] founded in 1988 that sells and recycles[3][4][5] batteries of varying size and voltage that provide power to operate consumer electronics, watches, cell phones, digital cameras, automobiles and other devices that require DC power.[6] The stores also stock and/or customize out of production batteries for obsolete appliances and antique cars.[7]
Batteries Plus Bulbs was acquired by Roark Capital Group in November 2007. In July 2016, Los Angeles based private equity firm, Freeman Spogli & Co., acquired Batteries Plus Bulbs from Roark.[8]
In 2012 Batteries Plus began the process of changing its name to Batteries Plus Bulbs, to reflect the addition of a selection of light bulbs to its inventory of products.[9][10] This branding was reverted in 2021 back to Batteries Plus, though locations still carry lighting. In July 2014 they rolled out a nationwide cell phone and tablet repair service.[11] Many Batteries Plus locations also cut, sell, and code car keys.
