I brought my Timex Ironman watch in to get a new battery. I've had the battery replaced in this…read morewatch many times, but never before at this Batteries Plus location. We'd recently moved to a different state, so I had to go to a different store. I took my watch home and re-set the time and date, and put the watch in my jewelry tray. A few days later, I was heading to the pool to swim. I use the watch when I'm swimming. It's water resistant to 100 M (328 feet), and is specifically made for water sports. When I was done with my swim, I looked at my watch. The display was completely gray and brown, and there were water bubbles floating in the display behind the crystal! I immediately went back to the Batteries Plus since it's right near my gym, and the guy told me that because I wore it in the pool it's not his problem! Oh my God, it's a water resistant watch, and it says so right on the front of the watch! It's intended to get wet and be submerged in a pool! I had to argue with the guy to at least give me a refund for the battery price... As it was, I was paying for them to have ruined my watch. I did get my twentyish dollars back for the battery, but I'm out a $65 watch! Will I ever go back there? Never! UPDATE 5/10/25: The day after posting this review, "Frank M." from Batteries Plus replied to my review asking me to get in touch with them about improving my experience. (You can see that reply below.) Based on the email address, I believe that was someone at the corporate level of Batteries Plus. I sent an email to the address provided, asking them to reimburse me for the watch that was ruined. A few days later I received an email from Russell, the store manager at the Geneva location, asking for photos of the watch so that he could get the model number for the watch and replace it! I'd just recently thrown the watch away, but was able to retrieve it from my office wastebasket, and send him photos of the watch along with the user's guide that had identifying information and a long list of the watch's features and functions. Luckily, I still had the user guide from when I purchased the watch and didn't even think of that until Russell asked for the model number. Unfortunately, as I'd already discovered because I'd been looking for a replacement, that particular watch was no longer available. I gave Russell a couple of other options for a substitute and he graciously replaced the watch which I received this afternoon. I am upgrading my review from one star to four stars. (A five star rating would have been if my original watch hadn't been ruined, and if I didn't have to leave a negative Yelp review to get to as satisfactory resolution.) But, all's well that ends well. It's nice to know that this company will own up to their mistakes.

I showed him the receipt for the battery which still had two months worth of warranty coverage. He brought out a tester and said that the battery was fine. I didn't believe him and it turned out I was correct. The Die Hard battery "died". My feeling is he just didn't want to take responsibility or be bothered for a warranty item from another store. Not impressed at all and would not go back there nor would I buy another diehard battery.

I could not get off the back battery plate and asked store rep for assistance. The rep get the old battery out and replaced with new fresh battery in about 1 minute. I asked what I owed and was presented a $17.35 bill. I was not informed there was a charge for putting in the 3.00 battery. I did pay the bill and lodged a complaint with Battery Plus Corporate. To my great surprise Matt, the Store Manager, said he agreed with my assessment, had a meeting to instruct everyone to inform work costs before proceeding, and said that he would give me a full refund which he did on 2-4-2026. I am quite pleased that Matt was so forthright in giving my full purchase price back. I give high kudos to Matt and all the Batteries Plus store personnel. I will do all my future battery business at this sore. I was treated more than fairly and have high praise as to my customer treatment. Dennis Sadlicki

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.

No matter if it's Apple Maps or Google maps or All trails. Recently, I got lost on a trail that was not well marked and had small diversions. I had a screenshot of the AllTrails map, but when I actually opened the app, it would place me anywhere, but on the trail. Most of the time it didn't even have me moving anywhere. I have been marked in parking lot when I am clearly on a trail. Anyway, all this to say that the store does not take responsibility for the issue, and instead blames it on Apple and my cell carrier (AT&T).
