About Battery Specialties

Battery Specialties excels in battery distribution and manufactures battery packs of the highest caliber, by making quality our number one mission to you.

Our History

Battery Specialties was founded by Jerry Kanen in 1969 based on his perception of the need for a primary battery distribution company with a total customer service orientation. This was received very well by the business community and we expanded into the secondary battery market as well. For over 50 years Battery Specialties has been a leader in battery distribution and manufacturing.

Location

Based in beautiful Costa Mesa in Orange County, California we occupy a sprawling 15,000 square foot ultra-modern facility where we carry product lines from the top brands and maintain an extensive battery design and assembly operation.

Quality Commitment

We have strict quality standards for the batteries we choose to distribute and that is why we carry only products from companies that meet our standards in alkaline, sealed lead, lithium, nicad, and nimh. We've been a Duracell distributor since it was the P.R. Mallory Co. in 1969, the same for Energizer, which was the Eveready Battery Co. Battery Specialties began distributing Saft/Arts Energy and Enersys in the mid-80's. We began distributing for Power-Sonic in the early 90's.

Production Standards

Here at Battery Specialties we are perfectionists. When you choose us to manufacture your battery packs we build every pack to specification, guaranteed. Our attention to detail is why even large national chains as well as the United States government approach us for their specialty needs.

Customer Oriented

We have a staff dedicated to assisting you. We build strong relationships through effective communication. If you want to connect to discuss a battery pack we have a knowledgeable engineer on hand to help. On time delivery is very important to us as is helping you with any documents you may require. We have an attentive sales, shipping, and customer service staff here that can help you from 8:00AM to 4:00PM.
