First, here's a Consumer Reports automotive battery article that says, in part:

Most auto batteries are made by just three manufacturers, Delphi, Exide, and Johnson Controls Industries. Each makes batteries sold under several different brand names. Delphi makes ACDelco and some EverStart (Wal-Mart) models. Exide makes Champion, Exide, Napa, and some EverStart batteries. Johnson Controls makes Diehard (Sears), Duralast (AutoZone), Interstate, Kirkland (Costco), Motorcraft (Ford), and some EverStarts.

Second, here's a comprehensive listing of battery brand names and who manufactures them. Helpful if you want to figure out who made that Interstate motorcycle battery or EverStart motorcycle battery.

And finally, here's an article that describes basic battery maintenance.
