At The Power Source, we believe every battery tells a story but the story behind our business is about far more than products. It’s a story of family, knowledge, commitment, and a passion for powering Australian industries that has been passed from one generation to the next.
Pictured above are Don and Geoff Rees, representing a family whose connection to Australia’s battery industry dates back to the 1930s. Across three generations, the Rees family has witnessed remarkable changes in battery technology, distribution, and the industries that rely on dependable power every day.
From the early days of locally manufactured batteries to today’s world of advanced energy storage solutions and globally recognised battery brands, they have remained at the forefront of an industry that continues to evolve.
As the battery market has changed, so too has The Power Source. We’ve grown alongside our customers, expanded our product offering, embraced new technologies, and built strong partnerships with some of the world’s leading battery manufacturers. Yet despite decades of change, one thing has remained constant – our commitment to delivering quality products, expert advice, and outstanding customer service.
Today, that same philosophy continues to guide every part of our business.
With more than 250 years of combined industry experience across our team, The Power Source offers far more than batteries. We provide technical expertise, dependable solutions, and trusted support for customers across automotive, industrial, mining, material handling, marine, recreational, renewable energy, and many other sectors throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Our longevity isn’t simply measured by years in business, it’s measured by the relationships we’ve built. Many of our customers and supplier partnerships have been with us for decades, reflecting the trust, reliability, and service that have become the foundation of our reputation.
As we look to the future, we’re continuing to invest in new technologies, sustainable energy solutions, and the next generation of battery innovation. While the products we supply continue to evolve, the values that define The Power Source remain unchanged: integrity, expertise, reliability, and putting our customers first.
We’re proud of the legacy that has shaped our business, grateful to the generations who have built it, and excited to continue powering Australian industries for many years to come.
