I've seen the hi bred batteries on craigslist and even if I knew how to use them, I'd have some reservations as to why they were available.
A accident that totaled the car would have put heavy stress on the plates, etc. of the battery. That can't be good.
They could degrade to the point they need replacing and still be usable to us but how long before that degrading increases and rapidly too.
Perhaps the best scenario is that the dealership replaces the batteries before they degrade but it is time to do so as part of a schedule. Either that or the "it's a good idea" scam so they can make some extra money. Those batteries could be in great shape.
With a 3000 lb CCC, 660 lb is no big deal for us, where to put them is.
