Look like the "industrial" grade battery, usually sold in bulk to operations with large amounts of battery powered devices. Used to get boxes of "lightly used" ones my ex brought home from the hospital. They would be from portable heart monitors and the like, used for a day and fresh batteries put in for the next patient. Sounds like they get "recycled" batteries from a similar source, but they should be listed that way. A disclaimer on the box you get does not count if the original listing says nothing about "minimal previous use".
