Most batteries are made by one or two facilities and then OEM tagged by resellers anyway.

Have the Autozone battery I bought in 2002. Only concern is, if the car is resistant to an easy start, it only holds about an 8-10 try reserve. It's wearing down and clearly doesn't have the deep capacity, but unless I do something stupid like run out of gas, or happen to get some bad/dirty gasm it's still capable of reliable to maintain CCAs from the alternator replenishment for a reliable first/second/third turn start.

True, like antifreeze. But don't they build them to different specs depending on client?

CP expects a higher grade of antifreeze

This, and it has been this way a long time. I usually buy Autozone, and they have taken pretty good care of me. Oh, and taking care of the battery is the most important step in getting long life. If the car sits a while, plug a battery tender into it. I just had a cheap Autozone battery last 10 years in the Barracuda.
