Hasn't anyone else heard that Trojan had one plant in the US and another in Mexico where quality was very suspect to the point where my local battery dealer stopped carrying Trojans because he had too many returns under warranty and could not tell where the batteries were manufactured. And now he says that Trojan has stopped manufacturing batteries in the US and only makes them in Mexico.
My dealer recommended US Batteries five years ago because of this Trojan problem and I took his advice.
I have not had any problems with 6 volt US145s or high capacity 8 volters bought five years ago and I just ordered another dozen US145s a few weeks ago. I think my battery guy said the only deep cycle flooded lead acid batteries made in the US now are Deka, Eastern Penn, and US Batteries.
