A Legacy of
Distributing Power

Continental Battery Systems continues to proudly serve more than 200 nationwide branches and 35,000 dealer locations throughout the U.S. It all began in 1932 in downtown Dallas where we opened our doors. Since those pioneering days, Continental Battery Systems has become a nationally renowned battery distributor of the highest quality batteries and distinguished customer service. We follow the same guiding principles that we did at the start in 1931 battery excellence, responsive customer-centric service, and a commitment to the highest quality, reliability and trust.

Each day, Continental Battery Systems makes a promise to the people we serve. The promise of providing the highest quality products and services is only a part of our commitment. Our pledge extends to many. We know that without our dedicated employees, our loyal distributors, and our valued customers, Continental Battery Systems would not be where we are today. Knowing this, we make a commitment to all of them that is renewed daily with every sale, every contract, every transaction, and every handshake. Thank you hardly seems enough to cover our gratitude.

I am so proud of the Continental Battery team and where we are headed. I love to see the stories of community support in so many places, as well as the support we are giving to our customers, to our communities and to each other.

Our team pulls together as ONE TEAM - we are committed to staying engaged and always looking forward. THANK YOU for your continued professionalism and vigilance and passion for our business; customer service; and above all safety.

Our leadership continues to focus on business management and building out our teams, organizing our company, moving our headquarters, getting our products and marketing lined up, and growing with selling more to current customers, adding more customers, and acquisition and greenfield expansion!

Over 87 years of business experience allows us to provide our customers with ample battery knowledge, excellent products, and as always, the unwavering commitment to our customers that our founder envisioned. Continental Battery is dedicated to preserving these core values as we move into the future.

Do I sound excited? I hope so - because I am!
