[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5677200, member: 601690"] Actually if you look at the Batcap product lineup, they have many different types of batteries. Some are made from Cyclon cells, which are made in the USA by Enersys (Odyssey/Hawker) and some are standard plate style, probably made in China. Kinetiks are all plate style made in China. Same goes for the XS brand. Optima is made in USA as well. Bottom line is that where batteries are made has a minimal effect on the battery as a whole. I think most people in car audio know that Optima is not a very good option for larger systems. They are USA made. Does that mean that every USA made battery is not good like the Optima? Nope.
