Vancouver Battery and MAHA/Powerex

MAHA Energy manufactures batteries with the Powerex name. MAHA was one of the first brands that Vancouver Battery Corp. started with and still backs today. For those who spend a few minutes on the web researching Nimh AA, AAA, C, D and 9 volt batteries you will surely come across MAHA Powerex products.

One of the largest class of consumers for this brand are professional photographers and a few of them were responsible for us carry them today. We started carrying MAHA Powerex batteries in spring of 2003 and are going strong today. We have been offering a money back guarantee on them for years and cannot recall people bringing them back because they were not satisfied. The AA and AAA batteries are always rated among the best and the price is comparable with any of the major brands. The chargers while slightly more than an average charger are in our opinion the best ones on the market.
