[TR] Battery Recommendations?

[John Innis]

While it is certainly true that a LOT of different battery brands are made
at the same plants form the same stuff, there are a LOT more than two
plants making them.  I know there is a plant in Indiana making Exide, NAPA,
Wal-Mart and Duralast.  East Penn makes Deka and a lot of other brands at
their plants in Pennsylvania and Iowa.
