How do you feel about buying seconds; scratch and dent; refurbished items ????
I needed a new battery for my pickup.
Was on the fence if I wanted a orginal flooded or a AGM battery.
Then a friend told me about a place in town that sells blemished batteries.
So I went for a look see.
Its a DEKA flooded battery.
I checked it before I left store and it shows 12.61 volts.
Other than 2ND branded into the top and no stickers on the case I do not see anything wrong with it.
The recite says refurbished so I am unsure if it is a second or refurbished.
But for the $55 out the door cost I figure if it last 18 months it will cost the same as a new battery that last 5 years.
I usually seek out and buy scratch and dent appliances also.
