Absolutely phenomenal service from BOTG! I used their express service and tech Nandu who arrived in just 7 minutes. He knew exactly how to access a Harley battery and replace it without any hassle. Super knowledgeable, efficient, and clearly knows his stuff inside out. What really stood out was his professionalism – he took extra care to make… Read more · 1
sure nothing got scratched on the bike. You can tell he treats your bike like his own.
Fast, skilled, and respectful. Highly recommend BOTG if you need roadside help or supply/install at your place. Nandu made a stressful situation easy. 10/10, will use again!
Friday afternoon late stuck with a flat battery. Got a jump start and heading home rang the NRMA so busy they don't even answer. Ask Siri - "batteries near me" got onto BOGT and spoke to Nick. Turns out I have a special kind of battery and can't get one till tomorrow - fair enough. Nick rings me back later and lets me know they have a battery and… Read more · 1
can install in a couple of hours. Brandon arrives and with great difficulty changes the battery. Why do they make batteries so in accessible in new cars? I'm mobile again!! What excellent service guys - thanks so much.
I cannot speak highly enough of Thomas from Batteries on the Go(BOTG). From the moment he arrived, he took the time to thoroughly explain what he was doing with my vehicle, the likely reason for the flat battery and all the options available to me. What truly impressed me was his honesty and professionalism. After consulting with his supervisor,… Read more · 1
they made the goodwill decision to replace my battery at absolutely no charge. It genuinely made my weekend and I am incredibly grateful for such an unexpected act of kindness.
My car is not a common make and Thomas went above and beyond by patiently going through the vehicle manual and even watching Youtube videos to ensure everything was done correctly. The job took longer than expected, but he approached it diligently, never rushed and did not charge me for the additional time.
In an industry where trust is everything, BOTG has earned mine completely. It is no surprise they are such a popular and reliable company. Their integrity, customer service and willingness to go the extra mile are second to none.
They have certainly gained a loyal customer in me and I would not hesitate to recommend BOTG to anyone needing battery assistance.
P.s : Taught me how to use a car battery charger if in case I require in the future.

Tax Invoice #95710 My battery was approximately one year old when it suddenly failed after I attempted to start my vehicle after work. No lights or accessories had been left on. During an inspection conducted by a BoTG technician, the charging voltage was recorded at approximately 13.55–13.7V under load for around 10 minutes. Although I have… Read more
limited mechanical knowledge, I was told this indicated a failing alternator. As a result, I was charged a $99 call-out fee and did not receive a battery replacement under BoTG’s 3-year warranty guarantee, unless I could prove the charging issue was not caused by the alternator.
I then visited a local mechanic (at an additional $99), who scanned the vehicle and confirmed it was a battery fault, not an alternator issue. He provided photographic evidence and a written certificate supporting this. He also advised that alternators can adequately charge batteries at 13V+ under load and that alternator failure is very rare in vehicles with a mileage below 200,000km. My car has approximately 150,000km.
Confident it was a battery issue, I contacted BoTG and supplied the mechanic’s certification in hopes of having the battery replaced under warranty. A BoTG technician returned, retested the charging system and claimed the charging was insufficient and worse than before. On this basis, they rejected both the mechanic’s certification and my warranty claim.
Concerned by these conflicting results, I sought a third opinion from a completely independent mechanic. He tested the charging system (with and without load) and confirmed it was operating normally. He also noted the BoTG battery was visibly bulging on the side and required immediate replacement, not the alternator. As my warranty claim had been denied, I was forced to purchase a new battery myself for approximately $200.
I have since contacted BoTG through their website requesting clarification on the exact minimum charging voltage required (under load) for a warranty claim to be accepted. I want a quantifiable answer in writing. Nearly a week has passed with no response.
If I do not receive a reply within the next week, I will be contacting Fair Trading to seek compensation for call-out fees, the battery installation warranty to be respected, mechanic costs (for certifications and testing) and personal expenses supported by the evidence I have collected.
I am also sharing this publicly in other platforms so that future customers are aware of this experience...
Exceptional service, delivery and price. Big thanks to Justin who after having to remove several parts, installed the new battery and to Mark for his initial attention and advice. Highly recommend Batteries on the go. Show 2 replies

I was leaving Sydney on a Sunday night the alternator and battery failed on my vehicle. The guy delivered and installed a new battery which enabled me to get to a hotel and sort the alternator in the morning. $300 but thats ok you pay for the service as well as the battery. He was friendly and efficient.4 months later the battery failed and had to… Read more
be replaced.Called them about warranty and was told that if you remove the battery you void the warranty????and being 5hrs out of Sydney I was out of the service area anyway. Canberra is the nearest supplier 2hrs away . My local supplier will replace a battery under warranty no questions asked . Disappointing and a bit dodgy I think .

The technician didn't inform me that they will be charging me extra if I used AfterPay, and they charged me $24 more than the price. I use AfterPay everywhere and the deal with AfterPay is that you are not charged any surchage for using it. I tried to explain to the technician, but he said that the application which they use to process my payment… Read more
requires the additional surchage. This is very unfair because I didn't ask them to use a particular application which they use to process my payment, they could have used any application which would not charge them.

Highly recommend Batteries on the Go! At 8am on a Sunday morning I made a last minute booking for a battery change at 11am same day. I chose 11am because I figured they would busy and it would be unreasonable to expect someone to come out immediately, especially on a Sunday. Even if their staff had called me at 11am and said that was too soon, I… Read more · 1
would totally understand, but the opposite happened! Kris called me at 8.30am and said he could get to me early and so he did! 9am he arrived and got straight to work, he was super helpful and let me know my car had other issues that really needed to be fixed within the week. Thanks so much for delivering on your promise of being super speedy, affordable and for having friendly, polite staff like Kris!

Amazing service! Booked online just the day before at night, came to my home next day morning, I could work at home during Ammar, the mechanic was here. He was very friendly and professional. He finished the job around a half hour. Super easy to deal with!! Don’t need to send the car to mechanic or a dealer for changing battery. Very happy for the price too!! Show reply
My battery died and I checked all the main suppliers. Batteries on the Go were the fastest and cheapest and had the best reviews, so I gave them a go. They arrived within 30 minutes of my online booking and replaced my battery and fixed the warning light in 10 minutes, even in the rain. Nick rang me to check in twice and was super friendly, answering all my questions. I would highly recommend them. Show reply
