Everstart Battery No Manufacturer on Label

[javipagan1]

I picked up a Everstart Maxx battery at the end of may after my Clarios Everstart Maxx battery died after 3 years and 2 months it was still under the original 5 year prorated replacement so I got a discount on the new one. I noticed when I picked up the battery it didn’t say where the battery came from at all, my old everstart said manufactured by Clarios but this new one doesn’t even tell you the country it was made in or anything. I thought I would share this picture to pick everyone’s brain and to possibly find out who manufactured the battery, I also attached my old one

Batteries are H5 size in a 2016 Volkswagen GTI

Probably Johnson Controls

Looks identical to the Motorcraft batteries in that size which are Clarios now.

The JC in the serial number is "Johnson Controls" aka clarios. Why they still use JC - legacy?

East penn serial starts with EP I believe - so I have been told.

Awesome thanks for giving me that hint

That's unusual. Pretty sure the FTC requires the country of origin to be noted on all consumer products.

All imported products are supposed to show country of origin. So if it doesn't say, you usually can assume its made in USA.

The info posted by SCM is 100% correct. Also, if you look at the EverStart label on the battery right above the green recycle logo, it actually says "DIST. BY CLARIOS - Milwaukee, WI 53209".

The old one does but the new one does not

Oh...got it. However; each manufacturer has copyrighted specific battery case designs. Since the new one looks identical to the old one (e.g., built in fold down gray handle, keyhole slots adjacent to terminals/handle) with identical CCA & CA ratings, I'd say it is also a Clarios battery.

I went to buy a battery at walmart last week, every single battery is now a sealed unit. I will not be buying batteries there anymore. I usually add distilled water once or twice a year so I can get the most out of the batteries.

(There are probably hidden service ports under the label on the top, but I don't like playing that game)

Yes. East Penn has an EP as part of the serial number.

Definitely Clarios and most likely made in Mexico due to the volume of batteries Clarios brings in from there.
