    For those who don’t know, Enersys is the company that makes Odyssey batteries.

    I would have considered buying a NorthStar battery. I wont consider an Odyssey purchase. Oh well.

    I kind of hate to see that happen. They are located about 10 miles from my house. I hope they don’t move the plant.

    Enersys also has a plant in your area. Some of the speculation I saw said maybe the plant was something Enersys wanted.

    “The manufacturing processes and quality standards of NorthStar are very similar to EnerSys TPPL production. It will require a modest capital investment to convert the NorthStar factories to build our battery products over a six-month period.”

    Similar, but not from the same manufacturer. The Platinum was an Odyssey.
