![]() Once charged and tested the passing batteries are cleaned up and stickered Recon. These are sometimes Interstate and other brands. Last group is the batteries that were turned in as cores and noticed by the distributor as looking new or fresh enough to test out for recon sale. In general it's the same idea as the rest.they get charged, tested, and tagged as recons These are sold by the manufacturer in bulk random lots to the dealer. The third group out there is factory test or blem batteries. they are to be stripped of original labeling and re-stickered as Recons. Once they hit the 15 month mark they need to be written off and sold as Reconditioned. Second group is batteries brought back from dealers as part of rotation of stock to keep them fresh. They are supposed to get the original label peeled off and a recon label applied. Steven, Generally speaking the Interstate Reconditioned batteries are one of a couple groups:īatteries taken back by Interstate as warranty batteries that upon charging and retesting are above the test thresholds to qualify for warranty. Please don't knock this idea until you've tried it … and then let us know what you think !!! …. Makes the entire are look like new again (other than the current damage that acid has done), Believe me it works !!! no need for a wire brush or tooth picks or anything ……. ![]() Just pour it slowly over the Battery and surrounding affected areas (No Cream or Sugar …LOL) and no need to further rinse it off just pour it and forget it …. I wouldn't of believed it if I didn't see this myself …It TOTALLY removes ALL acid content, and further removes ANY Possible chance of it starting it up again as it happens over and over again with Baking soda, which alls it does is remove the acidic content moving it to another area where it begins to corrode again, as in the battery tray under the Battery or as in a car down the side of the inner fender …. "everybody" has this Readily available anywhere Too !!! …. Well just for Kicks try this Guys … this method I learned from an old mechanic 25yrs ago …. i've been wanting to pass this method of cleaning batteries and areas around, up for along time now ….Įverybody always brings up the "Baking Soda and Water" process Not necessarily the cheapest to be found, but I've run Interstates in vehicles for ten years and replaced them because I didn't want to gamble on them lasting longer. That includes the U1 tab type used in most small tractors. I have bought only Interstates for the past twenty years, for all my needs. Of course, I had to remove the battery tray and pedestal sides, repaint them, and do a good baking soda cleanup in the pedestal area. Made a neat installation, and I think the Interstate is on its fifth seasons. The MT-26 has the terminals "straight," that is, reversed from the 22F battery that Deere specifies for the tractor. I don't know if the battery cables on my tractor have been replaced, but the Ford reverse terminal configuration would not install with the terminals on the front side. My solution was to get an Interstate MT-26 battery. The voltage output of the voltage regulator is about 14.5 volts on my tractor, so the problem was obvious. ![]() Some electrical checking showed that it would not charge up beyond around 13.2 volts any attempts to charge it further turned into electrolysis of the electrolyte, causing the spew. Two years later, it was spewing acid out the vents. My 318 had a brand new Strongbox in it when I bought it.
