A few years ago, my brother-in-law worked for a battery rebuild company. Be very careful with remanufactured batteries. Some are excellent, some are good, and some are very poorly done. Remanufactured batteries rarely have any warranty.

The company my B-I-L worked for mostly sold their batteries to used car dealers. The quality they produced were OK, but hardly "great." The dealers only wanted to pay for a battery that would hold up for a few weeks while the car was on the lot, then they didn't care if the battery died once the car was sold. My brother-in-law used one of their batteries in his car -- but then, he could replace it whenever it went bad...

Presumably, an industrial battery supplier might be stocking somewhat better refurbished units, since they probably do a lot of repeat business. But the warning is to be careful about your supplier if you want to work with rebuilt batteries.

FIND THAT PLACE !!!

They carry brands that have national warrantees, prices are as good or
better than discount places and in my limited experience, they are
OVERWHELMINGLY knowledgable.

I found a place that will sell me Trojan 105 (blems) for $75 and he's
trying to talk me into Trojan refurbished at rediculously low prices,
which he swears will last another 5 years minimum.
