Perhaps the batteries are made in China? ^_^

Too much lead in the lithium batteries?

No, it’s sold by YUASA which has some of it’s products manufactured in China.
Where these specific batteries are made is not disclosed or if it is I couldn’t find it.

a lot of grief for the alternative energy La La Land crowd.
I still haven't been given a solar cell and windmill powered vehicle. ^_^
