New and reconditioned car, truck, marine and RV batteries from a Maple Ridge shop, with testing, chargers and cash paid for scrap cores.
Few drivers think about the battery until the morning it quits, usually on a cold one, and at that point the question is where a replacement can be found today. Pacific Batteries works that specific patch of the trade from a unit on Stewart Crescent, in the business park on the west side of Maple Ridge. The published stock covers reconditioned batteries alongside new ones, sized for cars, trucks, RVs and marine use, down to smaller units for motorcycles and alarm systems, with chargers and accessories alongside. The shop will test before selling, because a battery that looks finished is sometimes the victim of a charging fault. Lead acid recycling rounds it out, with cash paid for old cores.
For a reader in Port Coquitlam, the geography is friendly. Maple Ridge sits directly across the Pitt River, and the shop is at the western end of that city, the end nearer the crossing. On the site's own framing, the Lower Mainland is the territory covered, and Port Coquitlam sits inside that region, though the neighborhoods enumerated on its service area page are Maple Ridge ones. A Surrey address handles the wholesale side, by appointment, which matters only for trade buyers. For everyone else the retail counter is the Maple Ridge one.
It appears here as an out of city supplier rather than a local business, and calling ahead is sensible regardless of the distance. The question worth asking is whether the needed size and type is actually in stock, because stock moves, and the exact fitment for a given vehicle is not guaranteed to be sitting in the racks. The published number is 604-457-2288. Ask about the specific vehicle or equipment, whether a core trade-in is expected, and whether the old battery can be left for recycling. Everything else, including what is in stock today, is a conversation to have before the drive.
Based outside Port Coquitlam and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
