Ranco Battery Centre

We are located at number 9 in Ashok Nagar, right where Brigade Road crosses Castle Street. It’s a very busy intersection. At Ranco Battery Centre, we deal with heavy batteries all day long. It’s a lot of lifting and moving stuff around on trolleys. The shop floor is stained from years of work. We aren't a big chain store with matching uniforms. We just wear what’s comfortable for moving heavy lead and acid around. When the weather is nice, we keep the front wide open. You can hear all the shoppers and traffic from Brigade Road. People usually come to us in a bit of a rush because their car or bike won't start. We try to help them out as quickly as we can. It’s a simple business. We have shelves stacked high with different brands and sizes. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything, so we use a big notebook. We’ve been at this spot on the corner for a long time. The neighbors change, but we stay the same. We don't have a fancy website or a social media person. We just answer the phone and talk to whoever walks in. It’s a bit cramped in the back where we charge the units, but it works for us. Castle Street is always lively, which makes the days go by faster. We’re just local folks doing a job we know well.
