“Cathode.”
Rating: 4.4
“Cathode is not just an online battery store. It is also one of the oldest distributors of batteries in the Russian market. In addition, it has its own brand – the company produces batteries under the brand name “Katod Extra Start.
The range of products in the online store includes several hundred items, but quite a small number of brands. Most of the catalog is the products of foreign manufacturers. Moreover “Katod” offers more models of Bosch, Energizer, Atlas and Varta batteries than other online stores in the rating. The prices are adequate and market oriented.
However, “Katod” has a disadvantage. The discount for old batteries is much lower than that of competitors. If the majority of online stores in the rating buy batteries at a price of 500 to 2500 rubles, the “Katod” – from 200 to 1000 rubles.
In addition, a significant disadvantage is that the delivery to the regions of Russia (and offline stores “Katod” are in Moscow and St. Petersburg) is by prior arrangement. It is not as convenient as competitors. But “Katod” offers a lot of unique models.
