Refurbished Batteries, Good or Bad?

Posted by Cliff on from the looking-before-you-leap dept.

TheMadReaper asks: "I recently had to replace my laptop battery and couldn't decide whether to go for a new battery or a refurbished one. The refurbished ones are sold at a lot of places, but then I ran across this article that claims that refurbished batteries suck. For sure a bunch of you out there have tried refurbished batteries. So tell me, are they a good buy or a scam?"

    We sell lots of laptops most of which sell with referb batteries and we have pretty good luck with them. Most last for 2-3 hours which is good enough for most people. I guess it depends on your standards for battery life.
