This site was an amazing eye opener. This told me what a problem can do if the right person encounters it. Lots of us have bought batteries at retail stores and have wondered about the prices that we had to pay every time for it. But, one person decided to act on it and as they say, the rest has become history!

Chris Burton, a drama Focus Puller was wondering in early 2003 as to why the batteries that he was using in his film and dramas should cost so much. Irrespective of how much ever he bought, he felt that he was paying a steep price for those batteries. He decided to act on his frustration. He set up the Battery Station in May 2003. He started selling batteries at some 75% off prices to retail prices. The word spread and the Drama and the Film industry started buying from him. Now, Battery Station sells batteries to all kinds of customers. You can buy brands such as procell and duracell from them. There is no minimum order quantity and most of the orders are shipped the same day.

Since the range of batteries available is vast and almost all are fully stocked, the online retailer is doing brisk business.
