Magnacharge Battery Corporation has been supplying quality battery and battery related
products to their dealer base since 1964. Originally formed as a manufacturer of batteries
for the automotive replacement marketplace, Magnacharge has grown to become a leading
supplier of quality battery products to a greatly expanded and diverse Canadian
marketplace. From four warehouse distribution centres across the country, Magnacharge
supplies products to their four main marketplaces:
- Automotive: providing batteries and accessories to the automotive, RV
and Marine resellers.
- Industrial: custom manufacturing for industrial applications such as
forklifts and offgrid power requirements.
- Cellular Technology: providing cellular phone batteries and accessories
to cellular dealers across Canada.
- Mobility Products: providing portable peripheral products for the
mobile computing industry.
In 1995, the company focussed its efforts on the high growth wireless communication and
mobile computing markets which were growing at a much faster rate than the automotive and
industrial markets. To expedite the growth, the shareholders of Magnacharge acquired
Dinosaur Energy Ltd., a public company trading on the Alberta Stock Exchange and changed
the name to Battery & Wireless Solutions Inc.
(ASE:BWS). The acquisition of this public company provided access to capital markets to
continue expansion of the wholesale divisions, while at the same time creating a new
retail company to showcase the growing number of peripheral and wireless products in a
chain of corporate and franchise specialty retail stores in Canada.
