This will probably vary upon region.
I took a ride, and went in the Bucyrus, Ohio Walmart.
Went down the battery aisle, and was looking at their selections.
Every battery that was a Johnson Control, had a thick to moderate layer of dust on them.
Every battery that was new and shiny, from the cheapest Lawn and Garden up through the Maxx series (including Value), had a sticker on it prominently displaying that it was manufactured by EXIDE.
Certainly, they were the low bid vendor.
