Are AC Delco batteries now made in S. Korea? Menards is now carrying them, and the SDS lists a company called AltlasBX of Korea? No more USA production on these? Still pretty expensive, more than East Penn Deka from FFH or Proformers from NAPA.
It really depends on location. A container on a ship then a rail car might be cheaper than a truck from Mexico.I would think shipping lead acid batteries from S. Korea wouldn't be very cost effective when Mexico is right next door.
yup that was me. Looks like last year when there were shortages of batteries in N. America, Walmart sourced them from europe (germany/spain). Found this out when at my Walmart recently, the normal Clarios N. America sourced batteries (group 24) were back in stock. Talked to the workers and they said that they're getting the batteries again on a more normal basis.It really depends on location.

I had a walmart battery from Spain years back, and someone here recently mentioned getting one from Spain recently also I thought.
just bought 2 Bosch S6 batteries (combined cost $530) and they were made in the US
