Americans losing jobs to overseas workers and products becoming assembled in other countries rather than our own has meant some financial hardships for those who have lost their jobs or can’t find work.

At Impact Battery, we are proud to offer American made products whenever possible. Americans are creative and continually strive to improve and design products that outperform and outlast products from beyond the great oceans. We wish all our batteries and chargers could be made here at home in the USA.

Even though we are not limited to selling American-made products we feature a dedicated section on our website so our customers can easily find good ol’ USA products easily. Brand we carry include Dual Pro, Quick Charge, NOCO Genius, Lifeline, Sun Xtender solar batteries, Braille, and Odyssey.

We hope you will find the specific USA-made battery you are seeking for the purpose you have at hand. But we are also aware that many specialty batteries may be made overseas to fit your product, and

If you’ve ever considered utilizing solar power in your home this guide is for you. Installing a solar electric system in your home can save thousands of dollars a year in electricity costs.

Dead Batteries...The Joy of Children

It was my turn to take my son to school today. As we prepared to get in our red Subaru Legacy my son asks, "Dad, did you charge the battery yet?" I had completely forgotten to do so. The battery went dead the prior week after our youngest daughter found an unlocked door and managed to flip every switch, turn every dial, and twist every lever. Needless to say, the lights and everything else that draws power were left on without us noticing.

[For the step-by-step playbook on how to overcome today's smart chargers and revive a dead battery refer to the bottom of this blog post]

I had a PulseTech Xtreme charger in the garage and connected it to the terminals. Nothing. The charger indicated it was connected to AC power and that it was not connected to a battery.

We have noticed that the majority of Goal Zero customers seem to prefer purchasing through Amazon or via Goal Zero directly. Understandably, purchasing from the manufacturer direct or from a large multi-billion dollar company has its perks. However, purchasing from a company like Impact Battery that specializes in battery and chargers will enable customers to receive valuable tech support and unparalleled expertise (unlike Amazon) as well as money saving coupons that are not available from the manufacturer. Impactbattery.com also gives a portion of every sale to the charity of our customers choosing, at no cost to our customers. Spread the word and continue the cycle of giving!

Holiday shopping season is in full gear and electronics once again top the list of “wishes” for gifts people would love to receive. Black Friday and Cyber Monday has come and gone by now, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t great specials still to be had. In fact, chances are great you may even be able to get a better deal in the coming weeks through careful research and waiting for that perfect deal to pop up.

Consumer studies show continued interest in online shopping. Buyers like the convenience of being able to compare prices from the comfort of their own homes and then looking for extra special deals like free shipping to sweeten the deal even more. A growing number of people will shop the stores to find the exact item they want, but then will write down the model number and do research about the product and read customer reviews before making the purchase.

When choosing a new electronic product, whether it is a laptop, phone, scooter, toy, or something bigger like a golf cart

Winter is quickly approaching, and snow is already falling in some parts of the country. While it’s too early to declare the opening of ski season, the truth is that wintery temperatures aren’t too far away.

So that you are ready to head outdoors and enjoy time on your snowmobile, now is the perfect time to make sure that your equipment’s battery is ready for another season of action. Depending on the age and condition of your snowmobile’s battery, it may be time to invest in a new one. And you don’t want to wait until the perfect conditions exist only to find your snowmobile won’t start up.

At Impact Battery, we have a variety of snowmobile batteries and even chargers so you are ready to hit the snow. We also have a wide selection of car batteries too, and solar chargers as a way to keep things powered up and ready for action.

The cooler temperatures also bring out an increased number of motorcyclists who enjoy the change in landscape and Mother Nature’s beauty. Children’s riding toys
