Some questions on batteries

[krankster 10+ year member]

Where to companies like stinger and powermaster, odyssey and kinetik, get their batteries from,

is it made in the US or is made in cheaper places like somewhere in Asia?

Also if a company has a battery for sale that looks like one of the above, has the same specs as one of the above, but says its made for use in the UPS/telecom industry, will it be the same as the above for our car audio use?

nobody knows anything about batteries?

90% of batteries are made in Asia/China. A small number of the high end batteries are made in the USA still... Panasonic has a very nice US facility; one of the few left!

Kinetik is the best choice for a quality USA origin battery. They have Chinese parts but are assembled in the states.
