A lot of batteries are made locally because they are so heavy to freight around. This means one factory spits out a bunch of walmart brand, then the same plant spits out a bunch more identical batteries labeled diehard for sears, then a bunch more identical batteries labeled for NAPA etc.
So local reviews count more than brand or model names. Some review sites/magazines take this into account, others ignore it.
There are some batteries which are made in one spot and trucked to wherever they are being sold. Typically those would be the super premium ones where they have a lot of profit margin in the first place. But now you know you're paying for freight, not necessarily battery quality.
