What is a recon battery?

Probably an old trade in that they put through a few recharge cycles and then slap a new sticker on it.

OP I'd just buy the cheapest Midas battery they have, apparently its a rebranded battery from a good manufacturer. It's not worth going too cheap on a battery, save yourself R250 and then it explodes and battery acid goes everywhere in the engine bay damages wiring, paint, sensors or it dies in 3 months.

Reconstructed battery. They replace the cells, top it up with new battery acid and recharge. I'm still driving with one for the last 6 months. Plus you get a 12 month warranty.

I did and I am still using it, granted it's been about 4 years now and prices have gone up but you can still get it for less than that, You negotiate for everything at the Chinese and Indian shops and you always come out of there a winner.
