Actually Interstate is a "Re-Brand" as well either US Battery on the west coast or Johnson controls in the east (usually) INterstate does not make batteries.
Johnson Controls makes many batteries.. I do not know if the quality of the lower cost brands is reduced or not, but MANY brands are in fact made by Johnson, and by US battery.. Don't know how many brands DEKA makes.. (But I have DEKAs)
Interesting thing about East Penn Battery (DEKA) is that they own their lead smelting plant..... US lead, Smelted in the US, Batteries made in the US. No China at all.
