The US is still one of the world's big battery makers. Billions of AA and AAA cells, most of the lead batteries in American cars and trucks, and the batteries for forklifts, data centers, telecom networks, satellites and military systems are made here. Lead-acid batteries are the most American of all: makers such as East Penn and U.S. Battery refine recycled lead, make their own oxide and plates, and mold their own cases, and more than 99% of lead batteries are recycled into new ones. Lithium is newer ground. Most US lithium battery makers design and assemble batteries here from cells made in Asia, while Saft makes primary lithium cells from the chemicals up in North Carolina, and Eos builds its zinc grid batteries entirely in Pennsylvania.

Types of batteries
Household batteries include alkaline AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt cells, lithium AA and 9-volt batteries for smoke alarms and high-drain devices, coin cells and rechargeables.
Lead-acid starting batteries crank cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and equipment, in flooded, EFB and AGM designs.
Deep cycle batteries deliver steady power for hours and recharge over and over. They power golf cars, RVs, boats, floor scrubbers, aerial lifts and off-grid solar.
Lithium batteries include rechargeable lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, which are lighter and longer-lasting than lead-acid and popular in RVs and boats, and long-life primary lithium cells for meters, sensors and military gear.
Industrial batteries run forklifts and back up data centers, telecom sites, utilities and power plants. They include flooded, TPPL, lithium-ion, and long-duration zinc and flow batteries.
Battery packs are custom assemblies of cells with built-in electronics, made for medical devices, industrial tools, vehicles and military gear.
Choosing batteries
- Match the battery to the job. Starting batteries give a short burst of power, deep cycle batteries give steady power, and household cells are sized for the device.
- Compare chemistries. Flooded lead-acid costs the least up front, AGM needs no maintenance, and lithium weighs less and lasts the most cycles but costs more.
- Check capacity and ratings: amp-hours for deep cycle use, and cold cranking amps for starting.
- Make sure your charger fits the chemistry. Lithium and AGM batteries need the right charging profile.
- Look at warranty and cycle life, not just price.
- Recycle old batteries. Lead batteries are nearly all recycled, and many stores take back household and lithium batteries.
Reading "Made in USA" on batteries
Under FTC rules, an unqualified "Made in USA" claim means all or virtually all of the product is made here. Many lead-acid batteries come close, because their lead, plates and cases are made in the same plants. Household batteries assembled here often use some imported materials, and most lithium batteries assembled in the US use cells made in China or elsewhere in Asia. Big battery makers also run plants in Mexico, Europe and Asia, so the same brand can come from different countries. Check the label on the specific battery for the country where it was made.
