Flooded Batteries on Float
It's been mentioned that flooded batteries just keep accepting amps seemingly forever whereas AGM's will stop accepting amps when they're full. Don't know if it's true or not but I can say that my bat...

Don't mean to be a downer but electronics started going overseas 30 years ago.
Yep .... including the IC company I worked in for nearly 33 years.
I used to travel a lot to their Korean and Asian manufacturing sites. However as of when I retired in 2003, their in-house wafer fabrication manufacturing sites were still located exclusively in the US or Scotland. However, while I was still working they had begun to also contract some of their digital products' wafer fabrication to contractors located in Southeast Asia.
I have no problem with the world's products being manufactured wherever in the world they can be manufactured the most efficiently without sacrificing product value or taking advantage of a workforce. What I have a problem with is low value and/or slave labor just to maximize profit margins via customers who are too fixated on price shopping instead of value shopping.
"If you can't afford to pay for the highest value form of the product, them maybe you shouldn't be buying any form of the product."
Following this shopping style would soon put the low product value slave labor boys where they belong - out of business. Of course plenty of retirement IRAs would suffer for awhile until the whole system corrected itself back to where the only products available were high value ones and the workers who made the products could themselves afford to buy them.
Notice that I used the word "value" instead of the word "quality". The difference between these two is a whole nuther forum topic.
