What Exactly is a "Factory-Second" Battery?

If you have ever shopped for car parts in the Phoenix Valley, you might have stumbled upon the term "factory-second" battery and wondered if it was just a fancy way of describing something broken. In reality, factory-second batteries represent one of the best-kept secrets in automotive maintenance—a way to get premium starting power for a fraction of the cost.

The Truth About "Factory-Second" Quality

When we talk about factory-second batteries, we are not talking about junk or scrap. These are brand-new batteries that, for minor cosmetic reasons, did not meet the rigid aesthetic standards required for high-end retail shelves. Maybe the plastic casing has a slight blemish, a label was applied off-center, or the terminals were handled in a way that left a small scratch during the manufacturing process.

Mechanically and chemically, these batteries are identical to the pristine units sitting in a big-box store. They have never been cycled, they hold a full charge, and they offer the exact cold-cranking amps (CCA) listed on the label. At ECO+BATTERIES, we rigorously test every unit to ensure that when you Shop factory-second, you are getting a reliable power source that is ready to turn the ignition the moment it is installed.
