SWITCHING POLARITIES…read more Someone once asked my thoughts on a battery store, and I said "well, there's a lot of positives and negatives". Despite their signage out front saying otherwise, this business is listed as 'Batteries Plus' on Yelp. They can be found on the left end of a strip mall in Bolingbrook near the intersection with Weber Rd, near Charley's Cheesesteaks and KO Sushi on Boughton Rd. The other month my 3yo's toy plane ran out of juice, and he asked me to fix it. "Sure buddy, no problem", I told him, "how hard can it be to find a pair of LR41 button batteries? Shouldn't be that expensive..." Famous last words. Come to find out, not only are LR41 button batteries a non-standard type, but they're hella expensive ($5/ea). Button batteries are the bane of my existence and pose a serious health risk, so yes, I hate them with every fiber of my being. The sales associate helped me find what I needed, and $11 later my son's plastic model 737 was making its usual cacophony of noises. Whoever designed that !@&$% toy to use the most obtuse batteries available should be drawn & quartered like in medieval times (the era, not the dinner theatre). * TL;DR * If ever there was a niche store, it's Batteries + Bulbs. I shouldn't need to come back here, unless I'm dumb enough to buy another toy that's powered by atypical means (anything other than 'AA' or 'AAA' batteries). The store is organized well and serves its purpose, though not in a terribly exciting fashion. At least their name spells out exactly what's offered, no ambiguity here.

Do not come here, the staff doesn't know what they're doing. I cam in for a simple battery fix on…read moreSunday, August 9th the same day they let me know as they were changing the battery they accidentally broke my screen and the sensors, they "fixed" it. But The same day I notice the screen is lifting on the left corner . They couldn't install a simple screen properly!!! I came in again on Monday, August 10th they got the left corner to stick down but now there is a bright green line on my screen and the same left corner is heating up to a ridiculous temperature. I come in again Tuesday, August 11th they tell me the mother board is fried and my phone is basically useless now.Lastly they said my phone still turns on, nope completely dead. My experience was full of lies..I have to get a brand new phone which is not cheap and all I came here for was for a battery change. They destroyed my phone do not come here unless you want to spend 1k on a new phone. Very disappointed I had so much hope and was so patient for the staff to get it together. All they did was refund $96 which 1. Isn't going to get me a new phone and 2. Is not even how much I paid to get the battery changed in the first. how did I come with a phone that had no problems other than needing a new battery, to now having a Phone that will not even turn on? They tried to blame the overheating on me, but what a coincidence that the second I brought it in on Monday the motherboard started to fry in the same corner of the screen that they failed to properly secure because of my over usage with the battery?? I genuinely wish I never came here

This store is fantastic. Never stumped them on a battery need yet. Very helpful people. Jesus…read moresaves! John3:16 "Bible"

DO NOT DO BUISNESS WITH THEM !!!!!!!!!! FRAUD…read more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on 12/16/2017 a kid from my household ordered 5 drones from this company. when the items were received we right away reported it as fraud to our bank and to the company that accepted the order which is batteries and things. when I called ron the ceo was nice a polite and told me to return them and that he would refund us our money. and he would not charge us a restocking fee. so we shipped them back out. when RON THE CEO finally received the items he called me and told me that he was only going to refund me $175.00 the original refund was suppose to be for $289.75. there was a total of items which were the cost of $57.95. when I asked Mr. CEO why was I only getting $175.00 he flipped out on me and told me to fuck off and if I didn't like it I could call the president of the united states and he hung up on me. I called back and mr ceo kept yelling at me and told me he will be sending the product back to me and not to be calling this number 1(815)220-0321. this place is a fraud and they take advantage of people. defiantly not professional. this place should not be in business. RON MR.CEO SHOULD HAVE HIS ASS BEATEN.
