Flat battery? Walk in, get tested, drive out.
We test your battery free, tell you honestly whether it needs replacing, give you a written price before we touch anything, and fit it while you wait. Your old battery goes to a licensed recycler at no charge.

What battery do you need?
Read the size code off the top or side of your current battery — it is a three-digit number like 646 or 652. Pick it here with the cover you want and you will see this store's price straight away.
Pick a size and a range and the price appears here — including VAT, scrap exchange and fitment.
Do not know your size? Bring the vehicle in. We read the size off the battery, or off the vehicle if the battery has already been removed, and the test is free either way. Or call South Africa, plus 27 011 869 2427 and tell us the make, model and year — we will confirm it before you drive anywhere. See the full price list.
Before we sell you anything
Most batteries we test do not need replacing.
A flat battery and a dead battery are different problems. A parasitic drain, a failing alternator or a loose earth will flatten a perfectly good battery, and selling you a new one fixes nothing — you will be back in a month, angrier.
So we test first, every time, free, and we hand you the printed result. If the battery passes, we tell you it passed and we look at what actually drained it. If it fails, you get a written quote before anything is disconnected.
The five steps, every customer
- Greet — Within thirty seconds of you walking in.
- Listen — What the vehicle is doing, and when it started doing it.
- Test — A free conductance and charging-system test, with a printed report.
- Recommend — Only if the test says you need one. A written quote before anything happens.
- Fit — To torque specification, signed off on the job card, while you wait.
The same five steps in every Global Batteries Xpress store in the country.
The range
Three levels of cover. Same free test, same fitment.
Novax Value Plus
Older vehicles, second cars and standby vehicles.
Novax Essential
Daily commuters and family vehicles.
Novax Premium
Drivers who want our longest cover, and AGM start-stop applications.
What separates them is how long you are covered for, and which sizes are supplied in each range — AGM start-stop sizes are supplied in Premium only. We are not going to tell you one range is built better than another; you are choosing how long you want to be covered for.

Delivery, fleets and the trade.
We deliver in Alberton, Alrode, New Redruth, Meyersdal, Brackendowns and the surrounding southern East Rand, and we run accounts for fleets, mechanics, panelbeaters and tyre fitters in the area. If you run vehicles for a living, scheduled testing costs you minutes and a roadside failure costs you a morning.
