This is the response I received after sending a email to Eveready.
Let me help you !
I recently went through my house pulling every Duracell battery from every device and together with all the unused (new) batteries I tossed them out. I then replaced them in my devices with Eveready batteries, but only from packages marked “Made in USA”.
Duracells were the only batteries I used for many decades, but they moved their production to China and as a result I lost devices, ruined by battery leakage. A problem I haven’t seen in USA batteries in a long time. I am never buying or using Duracell batteries again.
Please do not go the route of manufacturing in China. The day I see a “Made in China” on a package of Evereadys is the day I throw you in the same waste basket as Duracell.

Mass battery production for consumers has been offshores almost entirely for several reasons. First is of course labor costs. Next up would be environmental costs. A CLEAN process costs money. Cheaper to offshore production to a place that doesn’t care about pollution. China, India, Mexico etc are the major producers for common batteries most people use.
