Default K2 vs. StarkPower LiFePo4 batteries

After having two dogs piosoned by Chinese dog food (did not even know the food was made in China) I try very hard not to buy anything made in China. Plus they are well know to steal as much intellectual property as possible.

Of course I buy all sorts of non-critical well made components/products from China. And they do a good job on things like the Iphone. But any commodity item like batteries is going to be a 'race to the bottom'.

I've no certainty that K2 is any more robust, but one can hope. UL labs is still a good operation.
