Previously, they would have the OEM on the label (JC, Exide, EP, etc.), so it was easy to confirm.
Seems Johnson Controls makes Walmart batteries and have for a decade.

That said, who knows what that means as to where and how they are actually crafted.

They make the Optimas for Walmart as well.

I have to get my Google on to figure out the difference between the $55 value start from Walmart and a legacy quality Interstate battery. The vid Jack posted sums up performance but what is not there in the lesser batteries?
