true which means it falls on the shop owners to either carry oem batteries, or inform their customers about the exaggerated specs on rewraps...
years ago while in college i worked many temp jobs,, i was amazed at what i saw........1 shop i would have this huge bin rolled over to me full of bearings for your car,, my job was to pick them up and drop them into this boxing machine (and keep up!!!==you should be thinking about Lucy and that chocolate factory about now)... anyway,,,, somebody would walk by every hour or so and refill my box feeder,, and suddenly i was boxing up a no name brand after i had just filled up a premium brand box.........i found this practice over and over across many different sectors................just food for thought
Very true, many name brands have to limit their supply so they aren't flooding the market. Same reason you get quality booze for so cheap at costco. For batteries as I understand it the big 3 companies are making them for certain other manufacturers and are just selling off the rest. What's more troubling is the way some of these brands label their batteries. When you have Efests labeled 35a and they're only 15a+ continuous you're going to have problems from people trying to use it as a 35a battery. Treat it like a 15a+ battery though and you'll be fine.
I know Nike used to do the same thing. I work in the clothing business (mainly embellishment) and we'd buy these shirts for $1.25 (i think it was at the end), and Nike would buy the same shirts without tags but instead print their own nike label inside and mark it up to something like $5 wholesale. Same exact shirts. Not sure what they use now though as that original company has been bought up by one of their competitors.
i saw it in,, auto parts,, not just that factory, i saw it in ice cream, i saw it in mayo/mustard. others too but i cant remember.........its everywhere,, always has been always will be.
