http://jgdarden.com/batteryfaq/batbrand.htmI had this booked marked on my last battery search. Store brands seem to switch manufacturing frequently.
Lead has been a big issue in flooded since the last gov't crack down, most moved manufacturing to mexico. So experiences from 15yrs ago about flooded batteries should be reevaluated. We ate a several million in faulty batteries a couple years ago on our medical equipment....poor lead quality was the source.
On my truck I went with the place I could get a replacement easiest all over the western US, oreilly auto had the most stores.
1 lithium battery in the camper went 3 days dry camping with 140w solar, and returned home at 99.5%. -100lbs with the battery tray out.
