 AI reviews summary 

Battery Expert is highly regarded for its exceptional customer service and technical support, with many users highlighting the team's willingness to assist with product compatibility and order errors. The company maintains a strong reputation for competitive pricing and a broad inventory of hard-to-find batteries and electronics accessories. While the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, there are recurring frustrations regarding the transparency of the shipping process and the functionality of the online tracking system.

Pros
Exceptional Customer Support: Staff are frequently praised for being responsive, friendly, and helpful, often resolving technical queries or correcting customer ordering mistakes within hours.
Competitive Value: Prices are consistently noted as being lower than major competitors, local suppliers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEM).
Hassle-Free Returns and Refunds: The business is highly efficient at processing cancellations and refunds, particularly when customers accidentally order incorrect items.
Extensive Product Range: Users successfully source obscure or discontinued batteries for older devices, such as vintage iPods, cameras, and GPS units.
Cons
Inadequate Order Tracking: A significant number of users report issues with the tracking system, including missing tracking numbers, the inability to track guest orders, and a requirement to log in to view status updates.
Third-Party Delivery Delays: While the company dispatches items quickly, there are frequent reports of extended transit times and delays caused by Australia Post.
Account Management Friction: The website interface is described by some as frustrating, specifically regarding the forced registration process and inconsistencies in order history visibility.
Variable Product Longevity: A small segment of feedback mentions that certain aftermarket batteries do not match the original manufacturer's runtime or capacity.
Verdict

Battery Expert is a reliable choice for consumers seeking cost-effective and hard-to-find power solutions backed by high-quality human support. While the shipping logistics and website tracking features lack transparency, the company’s integrity in handling refunds and technical issues makes them a safe option for Australian shoppers.

Hubby asked me to find a SATA cable for him as his old cable didn't survive a house move and he needed to access old hard drives for some documents. I searched on line and found Battery Experts... they had the product I was seeking and at a very reasonable price. I ordered the cable and it was at my mailbox within a few days. Unbelievable service,… Read more

especially when some many Australian companies just "dropship" and it can be many weeks for your product. I then had to order another version of SATA cable and emailed customer service; I got a response back within minutes. This company is so customer focused, friendly and prompt, that I'll be using this company again in the future for products they stock. Completely refreshing to have such great service. Well done Battery Experts!

Awful Product - faulty 3 times - refused a refund – I purchased one of their unbranded Ryobi batteries. After a single use it stopped working and I paid to send it back and get a replacement. The second one then broke in the same way. I asked for a refund instead of a replacement as I had already spent money sending it back the first time and didn’t trust the quality control on the product. They… Read more

refused to refund and so I had to send it back again for them to replace/repair. The battery then had the same fault a 3rd time at which point they refused to do anything as it was just outside the 1 year warranty. Buyer beware, do not use this company as it is not worth the risk! Lesson learnt.

Often fits 5230 (non-BP) May NOT fit 5230BP (very common issue) Even when it looks identical, the rail guides or clip depth differ - this was my case. So returned. Also ordered another not realising what I had done and they cancelled the order for me via email on the day. Show details

Needed a battery for my garmin drive assist 51. None available when I checked around local suppliers in the Newcastle nsw region. Battery Expert had stock ( Melbourne Vic), they shipped on Tuesday it arrived Thursday, my garmin is now up and running. Thank you for a great service, extremely happy, and a great price to boot. Show details

 Follow-up  · Installation was easy. Just followed some helpful videos on you tube. As for genuine I doubt it but the unit works like new and I am very happy that I can keep using my Garmin. Also I now know where to purchase good quality batteries at a reasonable price.

On Monday 10th November 2025 I purchased this for $27.23 with Express Postage of $9.22. On Wednesday 12th November 2025 there was nothing in the box when I received it so they kindly offered me a free replacement on Thursday 13th November 2025,… Read more ·  1

which was extremely nice of them to do that for me since their warehouse stuffed up. On Friday 14th November 2025 they shipped out the replacement for me with Express Postage.

Very good value from money. Bought to replacement batteries for my Canon SLR camera for the price of one from other outlets. I had an issue with the delivery (not Battery Expert's fault) and they had my back whilst sorting out a positive out come alround. Next time I require replacement batteries, Battery Expert will be my first port of call. Show details

 Follow-up  · The replacement batteries for my Canon SLR camera, are great. They're easy to charge and last as long as the original ones. The delivery issue was not the suppliers fault, they had the correct address. The courier company delivered the items to the wrong address and that person brought the package to my house, the following day. Battery Expert was very supportive when informed about the delivery issue.

I made an inquiry to Battery Expert for a replacement battery for my old Apple iPod based on the original battery that I had removed from the iPod. I gave them the model number and sent them a couple of photos. They confirmed the replacement however advised that it was not currently unavailable but would be back in stock in 4 weeks. As I was not… Read more

in a hurry for the battery and had previously had very good experience with Battery Expert I decided to wait until the battery was in stock. I signed up to receive an alert once the battery was in stock. Soon after my original inquiry I received the notification and went ahead and ordered the battery. The battery was delivered within the time frame advised by Battery Expert. I installed the new battery into my iPod which had to fit within a very small space inside the iPod and had a very special connection strip. I was very happy when it fired up straightaway. Once again I have been very satisfied with the product, service and support provided by Battery Expert.

I have had the misfortune to purchase 2 items from this seller on different occasions. First item was an AV to HDMI converter and more recently I purchased a replacement battery (ELASO PA5185U-1BRS) for my Toshiba lap top. Unfortunately on both occasions items were not as described, this is where the misfortune begins. Fist item AV to HDMI… Read more

converter I was sent a converter that was nothing like the one on their web page. On contacting seller and raising my frustration on receiving a cheaper quality item to what I had seen and ordered, their response was if item does not perform to my satisfaction then I can return it for refund. I tried to explain to them that it is not about whether item works or does not work; it's about the fact that they did not supply me with the item I had purchased and paid for. After contacting them several more times to try and come to a satisfactory resolution I had to open a dispute with Paypal I did receive refund from Paypal.

More recently on purchasing new lap top battery as mentioned above, on receiving battery and comparing capacity and runtime between charges I found battery to be of very poor quality and would not hold charge for any satisfactory period. In fact on comparing run time between charges with new battery and my old 2.5year old battery I have found that my old battery is better then the new battery.

On contacting seller and given him comprehensive evidence that new battery is not performing as new battery should, the seller come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with new battery. Again I tried to contact seller on numerous actions to try and sort out a satisfactory solution, with seller continuing to maintain that battery is not faulty. Seller stated that they would only provide refund after I send back battery and I had to pay for return postage. I disputed having to pay postage for the return of faulty item, again seller insisted that battery is not faulty and they only pay for return postage on DOA items. As I write this review I am now in the process of opening a dispute through Paypal. My advise to anyone considering purchasing from this seller is, Stop before you hit pay now consider if anything is not as you would expect you will most likely have a uphill battle on your hands to get a satisfactory solution from this seller. Needless to say hopefully Paypal will provide refund, and I will never purchase from this seller again.

Excellent Generic Dyson Batteries – My wife's Dyson DC 31 battery died after several years of service. She loves the compact nature of this model so wanted a replacement battery. Although not at all tech savvy, she found the correct one on the BatteryExpert site. I was surprised that she had no trouble navigating the excellent site which was very user-friendly. The prices seem… Read more ·  1

very reasonable too, specially compared to genuine Dyson batteries which are very expensive. We ordered the battery and paid with PayPal, our preferred payment method for security reasons. The confirmation came immediately and we received updates and tracking information as to the progress. The BatteryExpert also sends to PO Boxes which we prefer due to unreliable couriers where we live on the outskirts of Sydney. We were delighted to find that the delivery came within 48 hours. Brilliant service and the product was exactly as described. There were clear warnings on the site about the voltage and fitting instructions which helps guard against ordering the wrong product. We have now 'saved' the BatteryExpert as our 'go to' battery supplier for future needs. We have three different Dyson vacuum cleaners and many other products that will at some stage need replacement batteries so we know where to go. Great service and product from the BatteryExperts.

The customer service is excellent. Recently Aust Post messed up a Parcel Locker delivery by not placing it in the locker and then returning it to sender when it was not collected. Battery Expert went the extra mile to find out what happened and then resent the battery when it eventually returned to base. Show details

So, where is it? I got an order confirmation, but no shipping info or expected delivery date. To view my order, I am being bullied into registering (I checked out as a guest, because I resent having to sell my soul every time I want to buy something). When I then log in, I am told I have no orders. When I find the track order function, I am not… Read more

even logged in any more, so why did you make me register? While I finally see the order has been shipped (allegedly), there is no shipment date or tracking number. Is is so totally not good enough.

Sold me a Faulty dyson battery and trying to get them to refund is so frustrating. They refuse to refund and offered a replacement battery which is not in stock so the waiting time is 3 weeks before its even shipped. All this after 3 full days of back and forth with videos, so many photos of my vacuum and its battery and then photos of their… Read more

battery and on and on. Its obvious their dyson battery stock is not legit and they are just stringing you along. I have reported them to ACCC and now going to the Ombudsman for a resolution. Disgraceful company.

The customer service was great ,any questions that needed to be asked were answered swiftly which I appreciate however my only concern is that when the delivery is on the way there is no sort of tracking process that I can look up which I felt was really inconvenient but other than that the service was great. Show details

Just used these guys for the first time, as I needed a new cable for a super nintendo. It was easy to find via the search, and I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have to pay any postage. It was also cheaper than similar items on ebay. I had a question, so I emailed, and it was answered straight away. I will now be looking for more things to purchase. Show details

I needed a replacement battery for my 4G mini mobile modem. I checked and compared many businesses and brands before choosing to buy from Battery Experts.

chose regular post which was free. The order was received on the 19th and I received it on the 28th. It would likely have been earlier if not for the public holiday. Customer Service was prompt, helpful and friendly. Emails kept me informed throughout however because I hadn’t created an account before ordering I could not track my package via the link given. I emailed them when I realised and they responded within a couple of hours. I will be happy to buy from them in the future.

Ordered a Mini USB Cable from Battery Expert. Not only was it competitively priced but also offered free delivery. The delivery took a bit longer as it was untracked but the response from the team was exceptional and kept me updated on expected timeframe and it got delivered within that timeframe.
