There is a Japanese battery company called Yuasa which made small  
storage batteries for light vehicles and motorcycles. It formed  
alliances with several American battery manufacturers and now states  
that most of its Yuasa batteries are indeed made in the USA.

Unlike Leica, USA which has sold products made in Germany, Japan,  
Portugal, Canada, and, believe it or not, even a few made in the USA.
