Bike Parts Maintenance Doctor, a Chiba-based motorcycle parts retailer, will donate 3% of August sales of its Perfect Power battery brand to the Japanese Red Cross Society's relief fund for the 2026 Kumamoto earthquake. Citing part-number compatibility and logistics challenges in the disaster area, the company chose a cash donation over supplies, adding staff contributions before sending the funds in September.

A battery is like gear — what matters isn't the look, it's whether it actually works when you need it. Putting 3% of sales toward relief funds means something because they've committed to a specific transfer date in September, not just a press-release gesture. Choosing cash over supplies also tells me this is a company that understands the field.

Is it cash instead of supplies because the part numbers wouldn't match...?

Yeah exactly, batteries won't physically fit if the spec's wrong so cash is safer.

Says staff are chipping in extra too, seems like they're actually serious about it.

Lots of companies did relief donations after the Kumamoto quake too, quiet steady support.

This makes me want to support Battery Maintenance Hakase. Gonna buy a Perfect Power battery in September.

3% sounds kinda small honestly, feels a bit like a PR move too.
