Easy to work with! Awesome guys over here. Steve, the manager, was super helpful with everything I needed.

I absolutely love this place ....i own 3 vehicles as well as a commercial Van and they have saved me a LOT of money ! Every single Battery I purchased has been solid for over a year and still charging They are refurbished to look brand new ..stickers and all I did 1 time have a bad battery a few years back and they promptly swapped it at no charge ! This is what I call good customer skills Bravo !!! Seriously try them out ..the shop is far from new and is quite old but the batteries are not I spent about $50-$60 per battery that would cost $234 for my Chevy cargo van read more

Peninsula Battery - My busimess vehicle - Battery Stores Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Steve has helped troubleshoot charging issues I've had in the past. I've also bought most of my deep cycle batteries from Steve. No problems as long as you take care of them correctly. Old school customer service, wonderful! read more

My wife had a very disappointing experience at Peninsula Battery. My wife went there to get assistance, and she was met with rudeness and attitude from an employee--possibly the owner, a Chinese man. This behavior made her feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. The lack of professionalism is concerning, and I wouldn't spend a single penny at this business. I will definitely be telling my family and friends to avoid Peninsula Battery. There are much better options out there! I don't know if it's because we're African American but you should treat everyone equally!! I believe his name is Steve my wife said possibly the owner read more

I had a terrible experience at Peninsula Battery. Initially, they sold me a faulty battery, which was frustrating enough. When I returned to get a replacement, they gave me the wrong one for my car. To make matters worse, when I tried to explain the situation, one of the employees--who I believe was Chinese--was incredibly rude and confrontational. Instead of helping me resolve the issue, he seemed more interested in arguing than providing good customer service. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend anyone go to Peninsula Battery. Save your time and money--look elsewhere! I gave it 1 star but if I could I would give it 0 stars read more

Ongoing issues with r v batteries..road service gave me jump start..said all batteries bad..4 for coach..2 for r v start..could not afford new ones. Drove from Concord to battery store..Steve manager..the only employee spoke with accent but very knowledgeable..checked the 2 I brough to replace..informed me "still good..look 12.4 v.". He could have sold this old woman 2 refurbished..BUT WAS HONEST..told me to clean posts and cables."put grease on posts.keep eye on water level"..made my day.. reconnected and starting just fine..you are incredible employee..thank you STEVE.i hope you post my comments read more

This battery services is human friendly. Steve is knowledgeable and compassionate with customers. My second car needed help and I received excellent professional service. Visit them when your car needs a battery. read more

We have been purchasing batteries from Peninsula Battery for over 10 years. They were always very helpful and usually had all the batteries we needed for our commercial trucks and mowers as well as for personal motorcycles and boats. Since taking new ownership, Daniel has completely transformed the image and feel of the store. The store is much cleaner, better organized, and the customer service is excellent! Prices are competitive to major retailers, but the "local store feel" is why we will continue to support Peninsula Batteries. read more

I bought a battery from this place 3 months ago and today it died on me. I took it to my mechanic thinking it could be the alternator and my mechanic says that the battery i bought 3 months ago from Peninsula battery is not holding a charge. When i first got to Peninsula battery 3 months ago an old surly Asian man sold me the battery. The place looked shady and the only reason I went there is because it's near my work. I had to buy another battery today one my mechanic has heard of. My mechanic said that the battery Peninsula battery sold me he had never ever seen or heard of that brand. Don't go to Peninsula battery!!!! super shady poor customer service. I should have known better to go to Peninsula battery because when I was paying for the battery that day I remember there was a guy that came and complained about his battery and some African American guy that had to be the manager was saying sorry left and right about the issues he had. I left going hmm that was weird. read more

This place is the best. Several other battery stores (Big O, O'Reilly) said it was a very complicated and expensive job to replace the battery for my 2015 Mercedes Benz. I went to Peninsula Battery and he had one installed in 10 minutes and at far lower cost than the others (including one that needed a Groupon coupon). Will definitely recommend to friends. read more

Great place, plenty of parking, fair prices. This place has a few odd batteries for that one odd job that might come up. Highly recommend. read more

I would be very skeptical of the bad reviews that a couple of people left here. I've been to this store and the products are very high quality. If you're looking for cheap products don't go here. The guy who runs it is efficient and super easy to deal with. read more

Do not use this place sold me broken battery not holding charge and when I asked to return it wouldn't return it blamed policy, will not be recommending this place to anyone read more

RIPPED OFF! My husband recommended Peninsula Battery, as he's done plenty of business there. "Go the the local shop; the guys will take care of you there". It turns out, that was definitely not the case. I went to the shop looking for a beefy battery for my off-roading Jeep. The salesman went right to the shelf and said this one is the one you need. I said OK, and he asked if I wanted it installed for $20. (I was hoping for $10, but wanted it done so agreed to that). Then he said he needed to look up the price, and as he was ringing it up, it registered that he was charging me $290, which was more than 3x what a Costco battery would have cost!!! I said that out loud, but he demurred and said that it was too late to change my mind because his technician was already installing it! As he proceeded to charge me, I sort of recall him muttering that the $100 model probably would have worked for me too. What I should have done right then and there was to get angry and loudly insist that installation immediately stop, and that we talk about prices first. But I didn't think that fast in the moment. I left the shop feeling quite ripped off and taken advantage of. TO MAKE THINGS MUCH WORSE, the electric cooling fans had been directly wired to the battery. I didn't know that stuff, I'm not a car geek. The battery installer didn't notice it either, so 20 minutes later my engine overheats. It pegs out as I arrive to a service station, coolant boiling over. I told them about the new battery, but they think it's unrelated. They don't know about the special electric fan wiring, so they replace my water pump and thermometer (for $400) before they realize they didn't solve the problem. But of course they did charge me for the incorrect diagnosis, parts, and services, right? Eventually they realized the non-operating fans were the real source of the problem, so they re-wired those "for free". What a shitty expensive day. read more

My battery died at work today and Peninsula Battery turned out to be the closest spot. I gave them a call and they had my battery in stock. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I'm extremely satisfied and recommend them to anyone. It's worth the trip from San Francisco too. Better, faster service. Why Peninsula? 1) They have EVERYTHING in stock. The place is a battery farm!! (They seem to have tools, chargers, wiper blades and other odds and ends.) 2) They are helpful. They test your system and install the new battery for the price quoted. 3) The price. They are at least 25% cheaper than an auto parts store. 4) Auto parts stores are horrible. I had my battery checked at my local O'Reilly's 2 days ago and they said it was absolutely fine. It was not fine. I got stuck AGAIN. I trust the owner and staff at Peninsula way more then a teenager at an auto parts store!! read more

I have been very impressed with Sean, the manager of this store. His knowledge, communication skills, and service are the best of any Batteries stores. He stayed overtime to handle the replacement and installation of the battery. It required a minimum of my time and absolutely no hassle. Super efficient transaction. Additionally, he has generously educated me regarding 12volt power for RV. I am happy to buy batteries from Peninsula Battery. Thank you for such quality service! Highly recommended!! read more

The owners easy to deal with and stands behind the products he sells. Good prices, not bad hours.

My battery died this morning and I needed a replacement. I found these guys on Yelp, I gave them a call, and a few hours later Steve came to my house and set up a new battery for much less money than I'd expected to pay elsewhere. Don't be fooled by their unassuming website - Peninsula Battery is legit. read more

Took 1 month to do this review to make sure I got a good product. When you look for the best donuts you not goin to any place you goin for the best donuts place. It's the same with car battery and this is the place. I got best deal around with great product and I got chance to meet a great guy there. I recommended. read more

My car had been having trouble starting so I wanted to get my battery tested before purchasing a replacement. I was about to go to a big retailer but then I remembered to check this site and boom, Peninsula Battery popped up. My battery was 5 yrs old and indeed needed to be replaced. The owner was very helpful and the new battery has more cranking amps and a longer warranty than a similarly priced battery at the big retailer. Definitely feels better to support a local business too! read more

Friendly folks. Let me borrow their tools and I installed it in 3 minutes. Mechanic seemed informed on how a car works. Cant give 5 stars due to my lack of car battery knowledge. read more

I was in dire need of a motorcycle battery. For some odd reason, the motorcycle shops in the area only had the most expensive battery for my bike in stock ($160!!). I asked around and was referred to Peninsula Battery. They were nice, had the battery I needed in stock for $60, and I was out of there in about 10 minutes! read more

My battery was going out, so I called peninsula battery. I had used them a month ago to buy a forklift battery. I told them my name was Rick and I was coming down. There was no pull-in parking so I parked on the street. The guy came out asked me my name and said pop the hood. Eleven minutes later I was leaving with a new installed battery. Service is not dead!!!!!! read more

UPDATE JAN 2014. The owner-manager, Sean, is a good guy and a battery expert. He carries quality batteries and his prices are very competitive. I've NEVER had a bad battery from his business which tells me he chooses his vendors carefully and has fresh stock. I bought a car battery at AutoZone and returned two before I got one that was not defective. That's 3 trips and a lot of hassle. I also had one bad experience with a COSTCO car battery. Sure, they replaced it without any questions but the hassle of removing it and taking it back was significant. I've had it with junk batteries. Peninsula is the only battery vendor I now patronize. Sean has EVERYTHING, sealed lead acid, lithium, conventional vented wet cell lead acid, deep cycle, starting, golf cart, alarm, even replacement batteries for those car starting standby power packs. If he doesn't have it he can get it for you but his in store inventory is extensive. He even helped me load some very heavy marine batteries into my vehicle.Great service from a family owned small business and great prices too. They have earned my loyalty. I bet you will feel the same way when you patronize Peninsula Battery. Five stars for sure. Feb 2012 Great prices, huge selection, helpful owner. Bought a couple of huge 8D batteries for my commercial fishing boat. Way cheaper than Interstate. Seem to work just fine. Low self discharge. Great cranking power. Lots of lead. read more

Loved their service - my coworker referred them to me when my car battery had died the night before and had to be replaced after a quick jump start from AAA. Called them at 8:30 am to schedule an appointment and 10-15 minutes later, I get a call saying they were downstairs already (was in the Oyster Point Marina Plaza area)! Asked a few questions about the battery they were installing, how far they deliver to (only local - from San Francisco to San Jose and only if they're not too busy) and got some informative answers back. Plus the guy was friendly and took my old battery back for recycling. Definitely worth recommending to family, coworkers and friends! read more

Bought 2 brand new $600ea batteries, they failed within 4 months, emitted sulfur odor, returned them and they said there's nothing wrong with them, well why did my engine room smell like sulfur, and why when I took the batteries out and replaced them with new different batteries did the smell go away? Don't go here, $1200 I'll never see again. read more

Great products excellent customer service. Even helped unload all the cores I returned. Will be doing business again !

Not just 5 stars, but 5 Million!!! Sean, the owner/manager is the nicest guy ever. Most friendly, gracious service imaginable, at an insanely low price. I can't recommend him and his business enough. The battery in my car had died, he tested the battery (dead) and the alternator (fine) free of charge, and installed a new battery. I live in northern SF and it was sure worth the drive. I was out the door in less than 15 minutes and felt happy, not just to have my car fixed in no time and low cost, but especially for having crossed paths with a wonderful human being. May he and his business prosper. read more

I had just gotten off work and my car battery was dead! I got on Yelp and found Peninsula Batteries and called them immediately. Sean informed me that they closed at 5:30pm, and since it was already 5:15pm they would wait for me to come from Colma. I got there at about 5:45 and he was still there. Sean got me the battery I needed, installed it and also checked the alternator, all for a very competitive price. I would not hesitate to reccomend him to anyone. read more

Great place for a cheap, good quality battery and incredibly fast service . I went it with a dead battery and in 15 min flat I was already back in my car with a new one . Great quality service !!!!! read more

I was looking around to change the battery on my car. When the AAA guys came to jump-start my battery, he pushed me into buying a battery for $125, that didnt sound right. Then I called around and finally decided on buying battery from Peninsula Battery Inc, it was cheap and the owner explained rightly, that the warranties.. dont really matter and every battery atleast lasts for 5 years, its best to go for the cheapest... which is what I did. read more

Whenever I plan to start a business with a new Company, I would do a lot of researches and homework, because I've had many bad experiences working with many unprofessional people in my entire life. 5 days ago, the battery of my 2014 BMW died. I did my researches and I discovered Sean and Sara (owners) and their business with great reputation on the internet. I don't want to beat around the bush anymore, they were simply perfect.Highly professional and patient with a great personality and good sense of humor. I had a great feeling working with Sean, Sara and their team and I highly recommend you to have business with them. They were also very family oriented and I saw very nice pictures of their family and their cute little Son at the office. read more

Good staff, answered all my questions, lots to choose from in stock, seems like they sell a lot of batteries so that means they're all fresh! read more

They do have alot of batteries, but usually below average quality brand and they are selling for a very expensive price. For the same price, you can get two same batteries online with two day shipping, so if you can wait 2 days, don't throw your money into water. Will try other store for sure. read more

This place is awesome! They were super accommodating to my tight schedule and such great customer service. Was in and out in less than 5 mins! read more

Did not honor battery warranty. I purchased a battery from previous owner George. Sean, the current operator refused to honor the warranty and wanted to charge more for the battery. I will never do business with these people anymore. read more

They have such a wide selection of premium batteries in inventory including motorcycle, marine, commercial, auto batteries etc. I got a battery that was a great value and much better priced than everywhere else I went to, and I went to many places to compare! read more
