Oh the irony.. lol

From what I was able to find out on the net:

That is the problem,
I run an industrial service company and I see a lot af these products that are manufactured by somebody other than themself. A lot of it is brought in to the U.S. in pieces from other countries and "assembled in the U.S."

No doubt that ever-escalating environmental compliance costs were also a factor in the decision to move the remaining manufacturing operations to Mexico, as well.

As for me, on a purely ethical basis, I will take Mexican products over Chinese products, any time.

I've used Odyssey twice now. Never had a problem, they have an option for a battery hold down (for you trunk re-locating guys) and are smaller with more cranking amps.

Also another option is Kinetik batteries they are small in size and house some serious power. Just another option.
