Default Green Bean Hybrid batteries

Has anyone had any experience with GreenBean hybrid batteries?

It's time to replace the battery on my 2008 and they offer rebuilt models at a good price.

Thanks

I did some research last year and ended up purchasing from another company but everything that i read indicated that Green Bean has a good program and decent rebuilt batteries.

I bought one last year and have been very happy with the purchase. They made the process very easy, installer was knowledgeable and careful.

My understanding is that on the GM Hybrid batteries the remanufactured Hybrid batteries do NOT contain new cells/sticks or whatever the designation is. They are simply matching old cells/sticks grouping them into categories of reduced capacity to work together better. (Hopefully disposing of the bad ones but how do we really know?). point is the capacity of these used Hybrid batteries is reduced.
When I was hunting down a battery I could not find a company that would actually supply data for the remanufactured batteries actual capacity after rebuild. Makes you suspect that the numbers must be pretty low or they would be touting it loudly!

Updating from my previous question.
Got it installed last Friday.
The guy was very good and answered a couple questions.
I now have a better idea the location of the fan intake.
So I moved the Yukon to my side-yard which had more space and I had the radio on while I was clearing the back seat.
He wanted to move it over more but now it wouldn't start.
So he replaced it and it started perfectly.
He drove it around the neighborhood and had no issues.
I have a Bouncie tracker that I used to follow my Dad when he was having memory issues.
So Saturday morning the Bouncie reports low battery.
Had it tested and the 12v battery was showing only 55% charge.
Looked through my log and it was originally installed by the dealer back in 2010.
So now I've had both batteries replaced inside 24 hours.
Appears the mileage is back to normal along with the brakes and transmission.
My original concern was the brake pedal wasn't linear and the engine would rev up without the transmission moving.
Now it drives like a brand new Yukon.
I never received any codes to replace the battery.
I think both of them have been marginal for a while and replacing them before failure was just a lucky application of preventative maintenance.

The hybrid was $2500 plus another $160 for the 12v.
We aren't worried about the current value of the Yukon.
The hybrid has been telling me it was unhappy for more than a year.
I was taking it on a road trip and that was the excuse to go ahead and get it done.
Everything else still works.
Of course I need to replace or sand the headlight lenses but everything else is good.
It has 138k miles.
We bought it nine months old with 6k miles.

Oh man that hybrid is still a youngster, I am at 233k I would say that you still have 100k more miles easily.
Sounds crazy but I would about as soon jump in and drive my 10 yr old Tahoe Hybrid as I would my brand new Sierra Denali Ultimate PU truck.
GM built a good vehicle with these Two Modes.

I got a Greenbean battery back around July, after the local dealership wanted to replace everything BUT the HV battery. I've had zero issues since and it runs great. I'm at about 230k miles and I nursed that old battery until it wouldn't run any longer.
