They likely come out of the same manufacturing plant that Duracells and or Energizers do. When it comes to D alkalines Energizers are the best made. From your description they almost sound like re wrapped Energizers with the high starting voltage. You could actually try contacting Walgreens about it they may actually get back to you relatively quickly.

Sometimes they use identical wrappers and end caps in generic brand batteries such that you can look at energizer, rayovac, and duracell batteries and them side by side and see who made them.
