On November 8, 2023, I went to BatteriesPlus on *************, in ******, to have my Iphone battery replaced. I was told that I should come back in one hour, which I did. When I returned, I was told by the technician that my Iphone battery exploded and that she would need more time to replace it and that I should again return in an hour. When I returned, she was still working on my iPhone and I had to wait again for more than an hour for her do change the battery and install a new operating system. All together i spent more than 3 hours waiting for things to be taken care of. However, when the tech finally gave me my phone back, the start button and the Factime were not working . She then told me that she would have to order an Iphone start button and that she would call me when she got it. The cost was $76.16 w/tax for the battery, but the Assistant to the Manager (who happen to be there) gave me a 10% discount (!!).After about 2 weeks, the tech called me having recived the new start button for my phone. Again, she told me to come back in an hour so she could work on my phone, When I returned I had to wait again in the store. Finally, she told me that she was unable to fix the phone button and the Facetime camera, and that I should to go and get a diagnostic from Apple in ****** and then call her. I did observe that she shared her time between the back room (fixing things) and the front room helping customers out. Obviously she is working 2 jobs at the same time. She looked hassled. There was at one time a line of 5 persons waiting to be helped, plus myself. I went to Apple (Dec.4) for a diagnostic. I was told that the cost of repair would be about $250.00, and also that there is no guarantee that the parts needed for my phone would be availalbe since my Iphone is not recent.I called BatteriesPlus on Dec.4)--no one answerd the phone. I left a message.I haven't heard from them and it's now Dec, 7. I was not expecting anyone to call me after what I went through ....FYI this tech working hours written by this tech on my Service Repair Intake document are: M-F 8a-8-pm, Sat 8-7pm, Sun- 9-6 Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, *****************Business Response

Bought battery for **** Titan Phoenix. Brought in home and installed on bike. Cranked it and turned over to slow to start. Checked voltage while cranking. Went down to 5 volts. Brought back battery and they said it tested marginal so the gave me another of same battery. Installed it and same problem. Went to Harley ******** and bought a battery from them. Same size same cranking amps. Installed in bike and started fine. Checked voltage when cranking and stayed above 12 volts. Started it multiple times no problem. So I brought battery back and asked for refund. They said they dont give refunds. They tested it and said it was ok. So now I have a bad $120.00 battery I cant use I have bought several batteries from them in the past and the time I have a problem, they dont take care of it. I will never buy another battery from them again!!!Business Response

Batteries Plus of ******** ******* took my Apple I Pad Pro in to perform a brand new battery installation. Upon receipt they broke my Apple I Pad's home button and touch id. They offered a refurbished one with equal specifications. Upon receipt of the refurbished one, I took it to the Apple corporate store in ************** in ********. Apple confirmed that the battery was unhealthy and needed to be replaced. So I returned the replaced refurbished Apple I Pad Pro back to the Batteries Plus location. Now I have nothing. The district manager for the Atlanta metropolitan area for Batteries Plus promised me a check. That person has disappeared without a trace. It is Batteries Plus responsibility to replace what they broke.Business Response

Car safety issue- immediate attention needed!Location- ****************************************************** They confirmed that the battery was still under warranty. However, they were unable to assist me since only the store manager, *******************, was allowed to file the warranty claim. All 3 visits the store manager was not present. I was in on 7/28/23, 8/19/23 & 9/10/23. On 7/28 and 9/10 they had tested the battery and said it was fine. However, I have received other test from outside 3rd parties indicating the battery is failing. Two are stated below. The only one tester they have at BP571 in ******* should be recalibrated to test accurately, or a more advanced unit will need to be acquired. At this time I order a claim on the warranty. Im keeping the battery alive on a trickle charger until this issue is resolved. Your immediate attention is requested. I am driving my family through multiple states this weekend. I cant afford to have power issues. I need them to replace the bad battery with a good battery before this weekend.Business Response

On 8/8/23 my husband went to this location to get a screen replaced on his tablet. A few days later when he was picking it up he put his thumb on the screen and it cracked. The manager accused him of breaking it and says this happens all the time. I witnessed him picking it up and it breaking. He did not drop it or do any damage to it. The manager refused to replace the screen after having paid over 200$. The quality of the material they use is horrible and to then accuse him of breaking it is appalling. I used my credit card to pay for this and I want a refund so I can bring his tablet to a place that will do quality work.Business Response

Good afternoon,
I had the opportunity to reach out to the leadership of that store. It is to my understanding the customer took the device into the store which they repaired and the customer picked up the fully functioning device. The customer then returned a couple of days later with the device which then had a broken screen. Per our warranty terms, new damage would not be covered under the warranty. The customer would need to pay for the new repair to the device. We are considering this matter closed.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear here.Their glass is so cheap, I honestly just picked it up with my thumb and pointer finger and it caved in.
I was so disappointed, but then remembered about the warranty I was told about when making this purchase.
I went back to the store and the store manager storms out from the back, pretty irate already, yelling:
this isnt covered under warranty, you probably dropped it, like you did when you walked in, youre being recorded
Or something to the effect.
Seemed as if I wasnt the first one to come in that day with a problem and he wasnt having it. He wouldnt even talk to me calmly he was up in arms and incoherent.
He then retreated to the back and told me to leave
And here we are now!
This thing is way worse than the original before being fixed. I wish I never had come here.
Managment needs an overhaul.

Helping out an elderly veteran neighbor with his battery issue. ******** has not had his car running for over a month due to a bad battery. Sticker on battery states Batteries Plus and the date of 11/21. Since we can't produce a receipt they will not honor the warranty of 2 years. Even though we were in the their store on 8/23 and the warranty would be void on 11/23. Can't believe they won't honor the warranty. They quoted us over $200.00 for a entry level battery that will be bad within 2 years. Will take the battery to another store that will produce a better battery and not leave a elderly person stranded. **store does know of the neighbors situation and we were trying to help him out.Initial Complaint

Saturday August 19th I was threatened 3 times by the store manager at Batteries Plus store #*********************************************************************. This started over a battery warranty but quickly went bad as I described exactly how the 3 $200 batteries were used and stored on the proper charging devices. The battery was still under warranty but in his opinion I had not taken care of it properly despite the fact the other two batteries in this boat were fine and they were all wired in line with the maintenance charger. In the end the manager at one point got upset and wanted me to apologize before he would even give my battery back. He went on to tell me 3 times he would see me outside of the store which implies physical confrontation. Im a 65 year old male, Ive been in the motorcycle business for 45 years and have sold/ warranted 100s of batteries for various reasons over the years. Their policy is if a battery is under 10 volts when it comes in its not under warranty. Mine was removed from the boat and when I came in the store I had 0 volts. This is typically a sign that the battery has an internal short and should be replaced. I want them to do the right thing under the circumstances explained above and replace my battery. Also the manager will need to understand any confrontation outside of this business will result in a expensive court hearing. Thank youBusiness Response

Entered by H363137**3238313831H staff LO Consumer tried getting another battery from them because he still has a warranty. They wouldn**;t give it him because of their corporate policy of testing the battery over night first but the consumer cannot leave the battery because that is his only form of transportation.Business Response
