Speedex Batteries

Speedex Batteries is located at 4810, Gali Mitra, along Roshanara Road. It’s a narrow street and can get very congested with all the rickshaws and delivery vans. Our shop is packed to the ceiling with batteries of all sizes. There isn't much room to move around once a shipment arrives. It smells like lead and old boxes in here, which is just part of the business. We’ve been here for quite a while, and the neighborhood knows us as the place to go when your vehicle won't start. It’s a very practical shop. We don’t have a showroom or a nice place for people to sit. If you come in, you’re usually standing by the counter while we pull a battery from the back. The floor is concrete and often has scuff marks from moving heavy crates. We have a couple of guys who are good with their hands and can swap out a battery in minutes. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady work. We don't use any big words to describe what we do. We just sell batteries and make sure they’re charged up. Sometimes we have to shout over the noise of the traffic outside just to hear a customer. That’s just life on Roshanara Road. We open early and stay until the last order is out. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living.
