Cold weather is not over, but more and more days include warmer temperatures. Spring is beckoning, and kids and teens are often the first to revel in the changes by spending more time outdoors on their bikes, skateboards and electric scooters.

The popular stand-up and sit down scooter options can provide hours of fun for a young adolescent, but a battery that doesn’t hold a proper charge can turn the outing into a huge hassle for parents and a big disappointment for the kids. If the battery on your scooter doesn’t seem to be holding a good charge or lasting long, it may be time for a new one. Impact Battery stocks all shapes and sizes of the major replacement electric scooter batteries. Be sure to check out our website for replacements for Razor, Schwinn, BladeZ, Mongoose, X-Treme and other brands. We also feature a link to easily search for your battery replacement in the event we don’t show the product you need listed.

We also feature battery upgrades that can provide better performance,

People have asked, "Why Impact Battery?  What kind of name and mission is that? Why do you guys give back so much? Why wear your beliefs on your sleeve? Shouldn't you keep business separate from your personal beliefs?"  There have been many other questions of similar conviction.  Some asked with a genuine desire for understanding and truth, others with the intent to insult or mock. Allow me to share candidly why we do what we do with a real life illustration that took place this past weekend with one of our daughters.

It happened Saturday February 19th 2011 around nine in the morning. My wife was upstairs getting ready for the day and I was driving home from a men's Bible study. Our kids were downstairs, when our 2 year old daughter climbed into the pantry in search of something sweet. Perhaps a cookie or a piece of candy.

A blood curdling scream, that every mother fears, echoed throughout the house. It was followed by a deafening and uneasy silence.

Our very active and lively daughter

As consumers continue to look for ways to save on their energy costs and reduce household expenses, more and more are turning to solar panels as an option. Solar power is an environmentally sound way to utilize existing energy, and many naysayers who used to fight against the use of solar panels are now agreeing it makes sense. Solar panels are being allowed in more neighborhoods with deed restrictions than ever before, and the trend is expected to increase in popularity in the coming years. They are not just for homes either; energy-conscious consumers are utilizing them for their boat, RV and other purposes as well, including extending the run time of your laptop computer!

If you are in need of anything solar, look no further than Impact Battery. We feature a variety of solar panels from industry leaders like Sharp, BP Solar, iMob, Power Up and Global Solar Energy and have a user-friendly site so you can search by wattage, brand and composition. Because solar panel types and their general

Recent arctic blasts and frigid weather events have put snowmobiles to the test—and winter is far from over, depending on where you live. Chances are, if you live in a climate where you own a snowmobile, you’ve been using it a lot since the first of the year. If you’ve noticed that battery performance is starting to decline or isn’t keeping the charge for as long as it should, it may be time for a new battery.

Impact Battery carries snowmobile batteries in popular brands of Arctic Cat, BRP Ski Doo, Kawasaki, Polaris and Yamaha. Our user friendly website lets consumers click on the brand of their snowmobile and then identify the specifics, such as model name, year, CCs, and specific type of battery, so you feel confident that you are looking up correct information and are choosing the right style. You’ll be able to review detailed product information, an image of the battery, features and specifications, part reference numbers, and warranty information as well. If you still have a question,

Most kids at some time in their early childhood clamor for a ride-on toy. There are so many enticing designs on the marketplace by Peg Perego, Power Wheels (Fisher Price), and other brands, and young children love the thrill and independence of being able to “drive” their own car, jeep, locomotive, four-wheeler or tractor! But keeping the battery charged and ready for action for whenever your child wants to ride is another matter. After a period of use, you’ll need to replace the battery. Or, if your child loves to ride for longer periods or quite frequently, you may opt to have a back-up battery so that the fun doesn’t have to stop when the battery is out of charge.

Impact Battery sells replacement batteries for most of the popular ride-on toys, and at a significant savings over buying an original battery from the manufacturer. Even better, our batteries have your child’s safety and enjoyment in mind. Our sealed lead acid leak proof and spill proof batteries will keep your child safe,
