¡Hola!, LadyLove:
| Aquí ----> pila, nuestro diccionario explica que "ponerse las pilas (informal figurative) ----> to get moving or get cracking." | Here ----> pila, our dictionary indicates that "ponerse las pilas (informal figurative) ----> to get moving or get cracking." |
| "Ponerte" es la segunda persona del singular (familiar) del imperitivo del verbo "ponerse". | "Ponerte" is the 2nd person singular imperative of the verb "ponerse". |
| Para mi, "Ponte las pilas" significa, en inglés, "(You [familiar]) Get going" o "Get cracking". | For me, "Ponte las pilas" means, in english, "(You[familiar]) Get going" or "Get cracking". |
| Parece ser deletreado correctamente. | It appears to be spelled correctly. |
| Mejor Recuerdos | Best Regards |

Yes! It is an expression that mean "get a move on", or "get going". Literally "ponte las pilas" means "put on your batteries".
Welcome to the forum.

Yes, but it's slang... Ex.: Ponte las pilas en la prueba / Get going on test - Carlos-F, Jan 12, 2010

Welcome to SpanishDict! 
"Las pilas" is the correct way to spell 'batteries'. But what are you trying to say? "Ponte" may not be the right word here.
