Mission
Our mission is to be the best battery wholesaler in the business. We are presently set up well to help with small and medium sized businesses with any battery needs. Our specialty is providing a comprehensive lineup of reputable battery brands to help dealers with a variety of needs but do not want to have to commit to large minimums usually imposed by major battery suppliers or spend time on sourcing batteries from a variety of different suppliers. We are set up with most major brands and having the stocking ability to provide all your batteries with one phone call.
We are an honest business and believe in what we are doing. We try to be forward thinking and think of what our customers needs are. Below we outline what we think are our strengths and weaknesses so you can make a decision for yourself if we are the right partner for you. You may click on each one for a more detailed explanation.

We look for partners that want to have a long term relationship and make healthy profits. This is our 8th year of business and during that time we have tried many different suppliers and made many friends. We know what the pitfalls are in the battery business and make it our priority to find superior products as well as superior suppliers. Without their support we could not provide the kind of partnership that we expect and offer that to you.
For most of you, batteries are accessories to your business and we aim to fulfill that niche by providing you with whatever you need. We generally carry several lines of batteries in the same category to cover the varying buying patterns of customers. For instance we can provide Energizer as a premier alkaline battery with a higher cost and also Maxell batteries which are less expensive to cover whatever your customer wants. Everything we carry is money back guarantee and in the rare event of a defective product we deal with these immediately.
We have grown every year since our inception and we plan to be here for a long time and the only way to do that is to continue to build long term relationships. We hope you will give us a chance to be your battery partner.
Thank you for your time.

Strengths
Brand name battery lineup
At Vancouver Battery we try to think about you and what your customer demands may be. That’s why we carry the brands that we do. Every brand we carry whether it be a big name brand such as Energizer, Duracell, Panasonic etc or more specialized brands such as Lenmar, MAHA or iPower have their own unique appeal.
We know that customers have different buying patterns. We try to make sure that we carry the brands for those that are brand conscious as well as cost conscious. We also do our research to get the pricing and brands that will allow you to please your customers as well as make the best profit margins possible.

Comprehensive battery offering
Our slogan is ‘The One Stop Battery Shop? In our early years we struggled to open accounts and make minimums with a lot of the brand names. Now you can provide the biggest brand names to your customers and not worry about overstocking and making minimums.
Vancouver Battery is consistently growing our battery lineup. As we grow, we make sure that we continue to add more products. We strive to offer the widest range of batteries possible so we can help you attract as many customers to your stores as possible.

Lower delivery costs
With our broad range of batteries you can usually get everything from us and cut down on your delivery costs. We mostly use Fedex or UPS ground for most shipments as they are fairly reasonable and can be easily tracked.

Battery knowledge
When it comes to batteries we try to do our research on our batteries so we can support you and your customers. For questions we can’t handle our suppliers are always there to back us up. We can also provide data sheets for many of our products.

Retail Experience
Vancouver Battery Corp. started as a retail store and still operates one store in Vancouver. We use our retail store to try out new products, analyze what sells and also hear feedback from customers. We also go out and take note of what other stores are selling and what they are lacking.
With this information we try to make sure we can provide the staples that customers expect but also niche products that will help you attract more customers to your stores. That is partially the reason that we sometimes carry different brands for the same product. For example GP batteries work well with asian customers whereas Maxell or Panasonic sell better with non-asian customers.

Niche Products
Along with the brand products we also carry a lot of specialized brands such as MAHA and iPower which are suitable for serious battery users such as photographers and film productions crews. We also are able to order 2 Way Radio, tactical flashlight, powertool and other battery products that you can now offer.

Lower Inventory Costs
Our stocking situation allows our customers to order smaller quantities but a larger variety of batteries. This way you can attract more customers by offering more products and different brands at different price levels while at the same time keeping smaller quantities by ordering only when you need them.

Reliable shipping practice
Unless otherwise requested by our customers we generally use Fedex, UPS or Purolator as our methods of shipping. We want to ensure that the packages are able to be tracked and delivered promptly. We have also found the shipping by ground is a fairly inexpensive and fairly fast method of delivery. We can ship by air also if needed.
