MK Battery is one of the largest sealed lead acid battery suppliers in North America due to our total commitment to the following principles:
Products
Whether your application requires extended cycle life, long duration at low rates of discharge, minimal recharge time or maximum high-rate performance, MK Battery manufactures and distributes only the highest quality batteries available anywhere. Not only do we continually test our own batteries; we carefully evaluate other manufacturers products as well. Moreover, we assess their overall capabilities as potential suppliers to assure that we are delivering to you the most effective technology for your unique requirements. "A battery is just a battery" does not apply here.
Service
"Ship fresh inventory within 24 hours from the nearest point to our customer while providing worry-free spent battery disposal." This is the MK Battery service axiom. Consequently, we ship our products from more than 50 locations in North America and ship MK products through MK distributors worldwide. Concerning recycling, MK Battery assures our customers that all of their spent batteries are delivered to E.P.A. - permitted smelters exclusively. That is critical for you because hazardous waste disposal laws place heavy penalties on offenders. In summary, MK Battery listens to our customers and delivers what you want, when you need it.
Commitment
MK Battery is growing rapidly because we specialize in sealed battery markets that are also expanding. Moreover, because of our narrow focus on sealed batteries and these niche markets, we can offer you expertise in these areas that very few of our competitors will match. Finally, you can expect our total commitment to keep you safely at the forefront of high-quality battery technology with the most responsive service.
