re: Best Auto Battery?

Remember the Sears batteries? You'd buy a 48 month battery, at 45-47 months, it'd go out. They would Pro-Rate the battery, give you $10 dollars back on a new one. That's when you would start the continuous cycle, of buying batteries from Sears.

Last I checked Johnson Controls makes a majority of them.
Keep them from discharging below 75% as this sulfates the plates. Periodically I'd run an overcharge on them to extend the life a little and knock the sulfate off the plates. NOCO makes chargers with a "repair" mode that does this.
Put it on a maintainer when not in use for long weeks at a time to also extend life as it keeps the sulfate at bay. Discharging leads to sulfated plates in the battery.

No, the company I work for (JCI) sold them to a company called Clarios in 2019. We had two manufacturing sites, one in Holland Mi, the other in Monterrey Mexico So I guess it's a North America battery. Headquarters is still in Milwaukee but manufactured in Mx. They manufacture all the Duralast AGM batteries and Optima (Advance Auto) there as well as a lot of OEM products.
East Penn is another manufacturer in the US that sells to OEMs and distributors in the US.

Thank you. Good to know that bit of info. Last battery I bought from Sams was manufactured by East Penn but has held up fairly well. The lawn mower batteries I seem to only get around 2 years out of.
