    This is not a New battery is it?

    I thought they only sold Used batteries?

    Seems like it would be worth the extra $100 to get a New one.

    You're not being fair. A new Toyota battery is $1600 PLUS INSTALLATION. The Green Bean is $1549 INCLUDING INSTALLATION. The actual price difference between the two is more like $700 than $50.

    It depends on your mechanical ability. It’s not that complicated of a job to do it yourself. If you do it yourself it’s 50 bucks and at least 10 years of new battery driving. With the green bean battery when it fails you have to prove it to them by having it checked at the dealer or a shop. That isn’t free, in fact it’s going to be more than 50 dollars.
