I wouldn't put much weight in an E bay rating. There is a guy that sell "reconditioned"trucks- call that used with a paint job, on E Bay that has a 100% rating and if you were to Google his or his company's name you would find 15 or more pages with not only negative opinions of him or his company, but instances where his company has been fined by the US government,
I don't have a problem with the word reconditioned in referring to a battery but I have a huge problem with the reference of rebuilt. The only way to rebuild a battery would be to cut into every cell. I usually use the analogy of a 12 cylinder engine with 500,000 miles on it- just because you re-ringed 2 pisons to stop it from smoking doesn't mean the same thing as rebuilding the entire engine..
As far as Midwest is concerned, if he sells his trucks on E bay and offers a 1 year warranty, exactly how does that work when the end user is located 1500 miles away and exactly what is warranteed. Sounds like the classic tell people what they want to hear story to me that proliferates in a down economy- just like the guy that sells "rebuilt" batteries.
