Buying American is it really worth it?

I agree Aloha_Shooter.

Car Batteries for instance...I only buy US Made Spirocell designs...better quality, twice the price, no kids in India died in the making of my battery.

List the American-made brands for the rest of us. Is Optima (expensive) one of them? How about the ones you get at Autozone (Duralast)?

Optima (CO origins) is one and I think still holds some patents. Exide has one now and there are a few others under license. They are safer to make in the first place, but they also are high tech enough that kids in huts in India can't make them. I use Optimas.
