Big place in Florida is probably because thats where they warehouse them as well as corporate offices. But as you can see they are made in China. Just about every electrical items these days is made overseas

Is it because you like to buy American made whenever you can or?
Yeah, American made stuff if possible. I'll spend more on American made but if I gotta buy imports, I'm gonna try the Harbor Freight battery tender-any comments on this one?

Thanks for all the replies everybody.

If you are gonna get one from HF, double check the fine print on it. The one I was looking at said it can't be used on AGM batteries.

I also have passed the Deland plant quite a few time. I don't see any of the signs of circuit board manufacture, such as chemical tanks and such. I'm betting the curcuit board is made overseas and the just do final assembly there.
