Powering vehicles, boats, and machinery with confidence
Backed by decades of hands-on auto, marine, and heavy diesel electrical experience, The DC Shop helps you find reliable battery and DC power solutions that work in the real world.
Built on Experience
The DC Shop is backed by Paul “Watto”, an experienced auto and marine electrician based in Marsden Point.
Over the years, Paul has worked on:
Agricultural and earth-moving machinery in the Waikato
Buses, coaches, and European vehicles in the UK
Air conditioning and transport refrigeration systems in Hamilton
Forestry machinery in Taupō
Mining, civil construction, and road train trucks in Australia
Marine electrical systems on recreational and blue water cruising vessels
Working across these industries has given Paul extensive experience with battery systems, charging setups, fault finding, corrosion issues, power management, and the increasing complexity of modern electrical systems.
Technology has changed dramatically over the years. Vehicles, boats, caravans, and machinery now rely heavily on sophisticated electronics and battery systems. Choosing the right battery or charging setup is now more important than ever.
