A Year of Powerful Partnerships, Bright Wins, and Big Momentum — Thank You
Power on — it's time to look back at the moments that defined our year together. 2025 was filled with new opportunities, expanded connections, and meaningful impact across the customers and communities we support. From powering daily operations to helping teams prepare for mission-critical moments, your collaboration made this one of our most energizing years yet.
So let's light up the highlights — here's your 2025 Business Wrapped.
📈 Fully Charged Momentum: National Accounts in 2025
As multi-site organizations looked for consistency, reliability, and simplicity this year, more national brands than ever plugged into Batteries Plus. They needed a partner who could power every location — and 2025 proved that our national accounts program delivers exactly that.
Here's what stood out for our national partners this year:
- One unified source for batteries, lighting, and backup solutions across all their sites
- Consistent products and pricing, creating smoother purchasing and fewer surprises
- A dedicated support team focused entirely on multi-site operations
- Fast fulfillment through hundreds of locally stocked stores and a dependable supply chain
- Simplified billing and reporting, cutting down on time-consuming admin work
We are excited that we were able to become that streamlined total solutions provider to so many this year, and we're just getting started.
⚡ Bright Collaborations of the Year: GPO & Buying Group Partnerships
2025 was a standout year for cooperative agreements. We partnered with two major industry buying groups to create solutions that worked for everyone involved — their members, our franchisees, and the communities these organizations support.
These partnerships opened the door for members to access competitive pricing, simplified procurement, and trusted support across facility management and local government sectors. And because one of these agreements was competitively bid by a local government agency, it now serves as a cooperative contract available to municipalities nationwide.
For customers, the impact was immediate: faster access to the batteries, lighting, and backup solutions they rely on — and a clearer path to keeping facilities running and communities safe.
And the momentum didn't stop there.
🏛️ 2025's Standout Spotlight: Supporting Government Operations
One of the biggest wins of 2025 came from the growing impact we made across government operations nationwide. From federal agencies to local municipalities, government teams relied on us to help keep essential services powered, prepared, and running smoothly — and this year, that support reached a new milestone.
A Major Highlight: Our New GSA Contract
In 2025, we took a big step forward.
The GSA awarded us a significant federal contract, expanding our ability to serve agencies across the country.
What that meant:
- Any federal agency can now purchase through us. The contract is active in every store nationwide — including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico
- Access to trusted products became even simpler, faster, and more compliant
A true "unlock" moment for our government partners.
And an Industrial Boost, Too
This year also brought a surge of momentum in the industrial sector.
With many of our industrial power batteries now on the GSA contract, customers gained a streamlined, federal-approved way to source high-demand solutions.
It delivered:
- A smoother path to procurement
- More confidence in product consistency
- A single, trusted channel for both government and industrial needs
Together, these agencies kept communities safe, infrastructure strong, and operations uninterrupted — and we're proud to support them as they power the systems that keep our country moving.
✨ And Let's Not Forget…
Across the country, 2025 marked a year of exciting expansion and strengthened business partnerships.
We grew our footprint in New Mexico, bringing more commercial customers closer to the power and lighting solutions they rely on.
We also became a preferred solutions provider, carrying major trusted name brands for generator batteries in the Texas, Michigan, and Florida markets — a win driven by the same benefits our national account customers value most: consistent pricing, dependable support, and fast access to quality products through our nationwide network.
This year also saw increased demand for our maintenance-free batteries. Our batteries meet the hospital battery changing standards for their generators, helping healthcare and other critical facilities stay prepared and compliant.
And as businesses looked to reduce costs and improve efficiency, we expanded our work with energy providers to help customers access state rebate opportunities on qualifying lighting and power upgrades. Check with your local Batteries Plus store to see if they participate and discover which items may qualify.

As we look back on 2025, one theme stands out: the power of partnership. Your trust and collaboration fueled a year of meaningful progress and innovation — and we're truly grateful for the customers and teams who helped make every step forward possible.
Here's to growing together, supporting new teams, and powering even more partnerships in the year ahead.
