Cross Lanes, WV (HNN) — Batteries Plus, the nation’s largest retail chain focused on the expanding $24 billion battery category, announced the opening Monday, Oct. 26, 2009 of its newest franchise location in Cross Lanes, WV. The new Cross Lanes store, located at 314 Goff Mountain Road, will offer consumers and businesses in the community a one-stop source to fulfill all of their battery needs. It's the first Batteries Plus location in the Mountain State.
"In an age of increased portability, our society is dependent on batteries," said Jon McDavid, owner of the Cross Lanes Batteries Plus store. “Batteries Plus provides unmatched service and expertise, along with batteries of virtually every shape and size. I look forward to meeting the ongoing battery needs of the Cross Lanes community, from the consumer seeking simple batteries for common items or automotive needs, to the business owner or large entity needing ongoing, more complex battery services.” In a telephone interview, McDavid told HNN that he attended Marshall University and worked in construction for 35 years. He was a student at Marshall when the football team plane crashed on Nov. 14, 1970.
Batteries Plus has developed a stronghold in communities nationwide with a distinctive niche that offers a comprehensive selection of batteries, battery-related products and technical support. The new Cross Lanes location provides the equipment and expertise on-site to assemble, test, condition and design custom battery packs for rechargeable household and commercial products.
Products include literally thousands of batteries for thousands of items, ranging from common items such as watches, cameras and cell phones to replacement batteries for iRobot® Roomba vacuums, solar landscape lights, talking books for children and keyless entry door locks at major hotels.
Batteries Plus of Cross Lanes will not only check to see if your car battery is ready for winter, but will also test the charging and starting systems of your car as well. If your car needs a new battery, the experts at Batteries Plus of Cross Lanes will recommend the right battery for your car, truck, luxury or import automobile and install it while you wait. Batteries Plus also sells automotive accessories like jumper cables, terminals, cleaners, and more to help ensure its customers are fully prepared to handle any battery problems caused by the cold.
As the nation’s leader in battery recycling, Batteries Plus locations offer recycling of old lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and lithium ion batteries, as well as alkaline batteries through its Batteries Plus Recycling Program. Batteries Plus is partnering with Battery Solutions, Inc. an EPA approved recycling handler in complete compliance with all state and federal certifications and environmental laws, that offers companies and consumers an easier way to recycle electronics and batteries for little or no cost. Last year alone, Batteries Plus recycled more than 191 tons of batteries of all different shapes and sizes.
