[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 240014, member: 7544"] Truth be known, there aren't as many different companies that physically make lead acid batteries as you might think. My cousin worked in a battery factory for many years. They would start production of a certain size/type battery and as the finished product came down the assembly line a person would be placing the stickers on the batteries. At some point they would switch to a different set of stickers and never skip a beat. One minute the batteries would be labeled JC Penny and a few seconds later they would be labeled Sears. All the while it was the same exact battery, inside and out except for the label. So when you go shopping for a battery of a certain type and size and in the same price range, there's a better than average chance that it's going to be the same battery but being sold by a different vendor. I miss those days when he worked there because he kept me supplied with blemish batteries for next to nothing. [/QUOTE]
