Reconditioned batteries are usually better than manufacturer replacements.
Manufacturers eventually stop making batteries for a particular model. They
keep a boatload of spares for parts resale. These batteries, in his case,
are probably 3 years old themselves. Even unused batteries lose their
capability to hold a charge. A reconditioned opens your battery pack &
replaces the old cells (probably Nickel Cadmium) with new cells (usually
Lithium Ion.) Stick with a reputable reconditioner and you should be better
off than before.
