Ecobat Battery Technologies

Our History

Ecobat Battery Technologies, formally Manbat Ltd and before that Manchester Batteries, has been the UK’s largest and most trusted battery supplier for decades. A household name in the aftermarket, its reputation for quality products and good old fashioned service remains as strong today as it was in 1952 when the business was founded by Harry Pemberton.

Originally named Manchester Batteries, the company first started trading in Abergele, North Wales and remained in the Pemberton family until 2009. During that period the company grew steadily, establishing itself as a business committed to providing its customers with top quality products that are supported by exceptional customer service. In 2009 Roger Pemberton retired as Manbat’s managing director and Steve Sheppard took the helm as the company started a new era under the ownership of the Eco-Bat Technologies group.
