Who makes the batteries for NAPA ?

Why buy from NAPA?

If you have a Sam's club or Costco handy THAT is the place to buy batteries..

Autoparts places like NAPA tend to exist in those out of the way places that no one else is willing to go, they are able to CHARGE more for parts because of the lack of competition.

If no Sam's or Costco handy then go to Walmart.. They are everywhere and the battery prices are much lower than NAPA..

The NAPA batteries at my local NAPA here in Watertown NY are East Penn, also know as Deka. Very good quality. They used to be Exide which were so so. It may be different suppliers, regionally, not really sure.

Made by Johnson Controls right up the street from me. From their webpage:

http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/content/us/en/products/power-solutions/battery-brands.html

"Johnson Controls is the leading supplier of batteries to many of the largest aftermarket battery retailers, including Advance Auto Parts, DAISA S.A., AutoZone, Costco, NAPA, Interstate Batteries, Walmart and more. Powering virtually every type of passenger car, light truck and utility vehicle, our batteries are globally sold under private labels, as well as our own brands – VARTA®, Heliar®, LTH®, MAC® and OPTIMA®."

Doe not matter where East Penn is present.


NAPA, and the battery warranty is nationwide.

EAST PENN

Just keep in mind East Penn's presence on the Left Coast is limited. US Battery aggressively stalks the rebranding market.

low bidder, same with wal mart and offer auto parts stores.

I believe NAPA batteries are made by East Penn Manufacturing. But they change so often! At one time it was Exide.
