I know of a few companies that sell "Renewed" or "Rebuilt batteries" and I would classify them as companies that I would notfeel comfortable dealing with. The ad on E Bay says that their batteries are "rebuilt by the manufacturer". I'd like to know what battery manufacturer is so desperate that they have devolved into doing that. I don't think so.

I googled the address of the company selling "rebuilt" batteries and found the following review:


"I purchased a used lift from Midwest Lift Trucks as listed on e-bay. The lift delivered was certainly not worth the money I paid. It was not even useable as delivered. It had to be sent immediately (due to a very dangerous condition) to a licensed dealer to have major repair work done on it. Hundreds of dollars out of pocket for unit described on e-bay as a "good all around truck." Certainly wasn't. Buyer beware of purchases from this company".
