Inner city
Basement parking, stop-start engines, Kensington
Two things make an inner-city battery job different. The car is usually underground — a basement bay a tow truck can't reach and a roller door that needs a fob — and the engine is usually stop-start, which rules out the cheap flooded battery a generic parts shop reaches for first.
A stop-start car needs an EFB or an AGM. Fit a standard battery and it will fail inside a year, generally outside warranty, because it's being asked to restart the engine dozens of times a trip instead of once.
Give us the building and the bay number and we'll come to the car, test the battery and the charging system, and fit on the spot — no tow, no moving it into daylight.

Batteries in Kensington
Battery replacement in Kensington
Kensington is a small, established suburb between Kent Street and Harold Rossiter Park, full of pre-war and post-war housing on narrow blocks. Most of it was built before garages were standard, so cars live in carports and on verges and take the full summer.
Heat is what actually finishes a Perth battery — it speeds up the corrosion inside it — which is why batteries here rarely last as long as the label suggests. Verge parking defeats a tow truck and suits us: we come to the car, test it where it stands, fit on the spot, and take the old battery away for recycling.
- Delivery to Kensington quoted upfront, before we load the van
- Free battery and alternator testing, no obligation
- SuperCharge and Exide batteries in stock for common specs
- Your old battery is taken away and recycled at no charge
- Open 24/7, every day of the year

Kensington FAQ
Common Kensington questions
Do you deliver batteries to Kensington?
Yes. Kensington is 15.6km from our Maddington warehouse — about 20 minutes via Albany Highway and Kenwick Link. There's a small delivery fee outside our three 5km free zones (Canning Vale, Maddington and Fremantle), or you can collect from the counter and pay the straight warehouse price. Call 08 9451 4048 for the exact figure.
My Kensington car has stop-start — do I need a special battery?
Yes, and it matters. A stop-start car needs an EFB or AGM, not a standard flooded battery — fit the wrong one and it'll fail inside a year, often outside warranty. Kensington has a lot of newer vehicles on the road, so we keep both EFB and AGM in the common sizes. Give us the rego on 08 9451 4048 and we'll confirm which of the two your car actually takes before you buy.
How much is a car battery in Kensington?
It depends on the spec — a small sedan and a European AGM are a long way apart. Because we buy factory-direct there's no retail markup in the middle. Call 08 9451 4048 with your rego and you'll get a fixed number, not a range.
How do I get to your warehouse from Kensington?
Unit 11/95-97 Kelvin Road, Maddington, WA 6109 — about 20 minutes from Kensington, via Albany Highway and Kenwick Link, about 15.6km. Free customer parking on site. Walk in any time we're open, get the battery and the alternator tested free, and have it fitted while you wait.
Are you open after hours if I'm stuck in Kensington?
Open 24/7 — every day of the year — call 08 9451 4048 day or night. If you're stranded in Kensington we'll give you a straight ETA rather than a "sometime today", and we'll come to the car.
Do you cover all of the City of South Perth?
Yes. Kensington is one of the City of South Perth suburbs we run to, and we deliver across the whole council area — residential, trade and fleet. If you're on the boundary and not sure, call 08 9451 4048 with the street and we'll tell you straight away whether you're inside a free-delivery zone.
What happens to my old battery?
We take it away and recycle it, free, whether we delivered to Kensington or you walked into the warehouse. Lead-acid is close to fully recyclable and it should never go in a bin — if you've got an old one sitting in the shed, bring it in with you and we'll take that too.
