MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Johnson Controls Inc. said Wednesday that it will increase prices on batteries it sells in the U.S. and Canada due to rising commodity costs.
The Milwaukee-based auto parts and building climate control company will raise prices an average of 5 percent to 9 percent for orders starting April 1.
Johnson said the deal will offset rising raw material and delivery costs, including costs related to packaging and transportation.
The last time Johnson Controls, based in Milwaukee, raised prices was in 2008.
