So where possible, BUY AMERICAN. I'd rather you buy clothing made in Bangladesh than China.

But Walmart had the best price on a battery, by far. Not sure where they're made, I assume the USA due to the weight of shipping a battery would make it less feasible to import them from abroad. Batteries elsewhere were about $140. Walmart's was $80 or so, and has been working fine for probably 3 years for me so far.
... 3 years ago, wally had decent priced batteries... now they are same as everybody else. however, IF you swap them every 3 years forfree, it doesn't matter...
their free replacement has me comming back for more every 3 years...
