@Bozone -- they were likely made offshore 15 years ago
OK, if you say so. 😞
Some batteries have the text "Install before MM-YYYY".
On ENERGIZER batteries is the text "Made in U.S.A."
On DURACELL batteries is the text "Assembled in the U.S.A."
On NOMA batteries is the text "Made in China"
On DEFIANT batteries is the text "Made in China" and "Distributed by Home Depot", but I bought them at Canadian Tire.
On RAYOVAC batteries is the text "Made in U.S.A."
Pay your money, and make your choice.
