About Battery Outfitters Inc
In 1980, Battery Outfitters opened in Golden, Missouri, selling batteries primarily for the automotive, commercial, and marine industries. In 1996, we added a full line of batteries for household goods to our line of products. Back then, the concept of a battery shop was new to the industry. Yet we took the leap and opened our first retail store in Joplin, MO that same year. Now, we proudly have locations in 6 states that serve over a 15 state area with Battery Outfitters online, 9 retail locations, 3 warehouses and 25 route trucks carrying our signature "Pro-Series" and "Pro Guide" batteries, plus our stores carrying the "New" Pro-Guide Lithium battery, plus many others. Our goal has always been to provide the best quality products and friendliest customer service in the industry, and we believe our people truly do make a difference. We built our business on providing that neighborhood experience. You know, a place where everybody knows your name. Come take a look for yourself. .
