Walmart batteries

[HURRICANEBOB]

Just some FYI about batteries and who really makes them. A rose by any other name, don't ya know!

The majority of car batteries are created by 3 manufacturers - Delphi, Exide and Johnson Controls Industries.

Delphi makes some EverStart models sold in Walmart and ACDelco.

Johnson Control Industries makes Duralast seen in Autozone stores, Diehard - sold in Sears, Kirkland - the Costco brand, Motorcraft - which Ford sells, some of the EverStarts, and Interstate.

Exide makes Exide batteries, Champion, Napa and even a % of the EverStart batteries.
