www.drpowerbattery.com is unavailable?
It would seem that I won't be able to see the site to get an idea of how it worked.
wow, that's great
I'm keen to add a shop for my site, very very new to drupal, have just bought the book and am facing a hiccup... checking thru here and saw yours... thinking WOW! What are you using for the shop?
He's using Ubercart.
He's using Ubercart. Ubercart is really the hands-down best set of Drupal modules for running an online store:

Some thoughts
It's a solid beginning, but some streamlining would help. Try to minimize the amount of text wherever possible. (For example, you could change this:
Click on the DR Power Equipment image for your machine and you'll be taken directly to the correct battery ordering page.
to something like this:
Click on your machine to see your battery options.
)
Get a copy of Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. Awesome book, excellent ideas.
A well-designed logo appearing in the header.
Get rid of the "DRPowerBattery.com" above the text describing your site.
Change the copyright in the footer to 2010.
I don't think you need that PayPal message on the bottom of all the pages.
Anyway, that's a start.
