That used to be done way back when batteries had tar sealing the top. They could be taken apart, cleaned, inspected, and put together for a little bit longer life.
Some large industrial batteries still have serviceable plates, a bad cell can be removed and replaced instead of replacing the whole battery.
And there are some that say they can remove the caps and flush one out, but I am doubtful that would do much of anything.
For the most part, they are just used batteries. If they can get it to hold a charge long enough to sell, so be it.
Mixed in among the batteries they get are:
Bad batteries.
Simply discharged batteries that someone miss diagnosed.
Batteries that were changed out as a precaution because of their age.
Dual batteries that were changed as a set because one went bad.
Factory defects that didn't pass quality tests.
Stolen batteries.
New old stock that did not sell.
It's a gamble, you might get a good one, you might not. Best thing to do is check the date, find the newest one you can.
