New battery technology?

Lead acid batteries are recycled and produced in China or 3rd world countries. As environmental regulations virtually prohibit lead acid battery production in the west.

Crown batteries are made in Ohio

US Batteries are made in several places in the US

I'm sure there are others...

Any small batteries with minimal profit margin are offshore produced. For instance batteries used in exit lights etc.

How does that justify your previous (erroneous) comment that:

I think some of you mistake assembling batteries, with processing lead parts in those assemblies.

Crown is producing/manufacturing lead acid batteries in the US...not just assembling them...

I worked at Hitachi before retiring due to health reasons. I worked in the Health Safety and Enviromental Dept.
Battery production was getting underway at our plant and we had to set up safety protocols and disposal programs. The disposal companies had to know what they were getting rid of, when we questioned the engineering group they were very hesitant to give any info about the batteries makeup. Finally they told us the basic compounds. They said that almost everyones batteries had the same basic compounds, but the magic was in the percentages and construction. Each and every combo has to be extensively tested and this takes time. I remember a lot of bad batteries and pictures of explosions that had happened at other facilities. So in response to the naysayers, all of the combinations and construction variations have not been tried or the R&D facilities at these companies would have shut down.
To give you an example as I sit here at the Cancer Center with my great aunt she is in remission due to a relatively new drug. The Dr. told us a couple of years ago she would have already died.
So no, what God has given us is all we have and the basics will never be changed. Its the miriad untold combinations that has as of yet been tried that will hold hope.
