It all began in 1931, when First National Battery was established in East London and began producing automotive batteries, becoming South Africaโs first manufacturer of starter batteries for vehicles. In 1969, First Battery Centre opened its doors in Bloemfontein. Today, with a nationwide network of 150 First Battery Centres, weโre proud of the journey weโve shared with our customers, franchisees and partners. Hereโs to 95 years of trust, service and Keeping You Moving. ๐๐
