Refurbished Laptops

Each laptop comes with a used battery that will still hold a charge and has been tested to last at least one hour or more during full-load stress testing. The vast majority of our laptops offer a very reasonable battery life and under normal use they often will last significantly longer than when they are undergoing a full-load stress test.

Battery Health Definition

Tested OK / Fair – Battery holds a charge and passes our full-load stress test for at least one hour, likely to last longer but has not been tested any further.
Good – Will easily play a full HD YouTube or Netflix Movie at Normal Brightness for 2 hours or more. During less intensive tasks like Word Processing they are likely to last longer.
Excellent – Battery would typically last at least 3-4 hours of playing non-stop YouTube or Netflix movies back-to-back, and likely to last significantly longer during normal use such as web browsing.
Brand New – Battery has been replaced with a brand new one to offer its full capacity.

Due to their nature, battery life varies significantly between each unit we have in stock. We also test each laptop to perform flawlessly when connected to the power. Laptops do not require the battery to be charged whilst plugged in to the charger and can be used all day while plugged in.

The power is in your hands! Choose to save money with the used battery, or if a longer battery life is required, we can supply a new battery replacement with free installation. Since used batteries are a consumable like printer ink or car tires, they are not covered by warranty. If you do require a extra long battery life, simply add the new battery option with your purchase.

Beware of the “Battery Health Percentage” Myth. With years of experience in the industry, we’ve seen countless laptops with dead batteries that report an 80% health rating (or even more) via software tools. This is often a very unreliable way of testing a battery and during our customized testing procedure, they often won’t even last ten minutes, fail our tests, and are then replaced. While others rely solely on this health rating to sell you a laptop, we instead decided to create this far more accurate test, so our customers can get a much better understanding of the battery condition and make an informed decision.
