Ok, doing some research, AC Delco AKA GM batteries are made by Middle East Battery Co of Saudi Arabia in which Johnson Controls owns 49%. Motorcraft Batteries are all Johnson Crontrols AKA Clarios LLC. MOPAR batteries are also made by Clarios LLC as are Auto Zone Duralast. The only other wet cell automotive battery company I can find is East Penn making Duracell and Deka, Everstart, and many more. So in real life, it’s either Clarios or East Penn. Hope I didn’t mix them up.
Delco batteries for sale in the US are made here or in Mexico. Shipping lead from overseas is insanely expensive.
Trojan, Crown, US Battery, Enersys, Superior, Rolls (Canada), and Exide all make lead-acid batteries in North America.
Still Johnson Controls. They have been buying up battery manufacturing plant and brands world wide.
