My brother used to be the plant engineer at a battery plant in North Carolin=
a.  Most of the car batteries in the us are manufactured at just two plants.=
 One east of the Mississippi and one west.  The one in NC makes die hard, in=
terstate, autozone and about 20 other brands.  They use the same acid and le=
ad and slap a different plastic cover on them depending on the brand.  Short=
 story is batteries are batteries.  You pay more for some due to brand, like=
 die hard, interstate etc. I always look for best price and warranty regardl=
ess of brand.  They are all made in the same place.
