Sangam Batteries Sales & Services

Our shop, Sangam Batteries, is located in Kothrud, at number 7. Kothrud is a busy residential area, so we stay pretty active. We handle all kinds of batteries—car batteries, tubular batteries for inverters, and even smaller ones for bikes. It’s a heavy job, lifting those lead blocks all day. My back definitely feels it by the time we close up. We also do servicing, like checking distilled water levels and charging up old batteries that have died. The shop smells a bit like acid and metal, which I’ve gotten used to over the years. We have a small bench where we do the testing. It’s usually just me and one assistant. During the monsoon, we get very busy because the power goes out often and everyone’s inverters start failing. People come in quite stressed when they can't get their lights back on. We try to help them as fast as we can. Sometimes the delivery truck blocks the narrow road outside, and the neighbors get a bit annoyed. We just try to move the stock in quickly. It’s a straightforward business. We don't have a lot of fancy displays. The batteries are just stacked on the floor or on sturdy metal racks. We’ve been in this same spot for a long time. People around Kothrud know where to find us when their car won’t start in the morning. We just keep doing what we do every day.
