I can tell you I took an hour trying to explain this term to my wife, who is Israeli. After an hour I gave up because either she didn't understand the term in reference. I attribute this to her either not understanding it because that is just how you purchase things, and there is not comprehension of another way. That or she didn't understand how someone would be offended by that association because why would you be offended by an association that means that your culture is representative of not being a dumb ass and paying to much.

Is it okay to jew people down if they're jews? or if you're a jew? :P
And does it offend actual jews to call it jewing, or just other people?

    Jew, Marvin, I tell him I am gonna jew him down.  Sometimes he jews
    me down.

            So these are C&D brand AGM batteries?____

            ____

            What have they been doing since 2014?  Sitting on a pallet?
            Being float charged?  In service in said 3 Phase UPS?
            Depending on shipping cost, it sounds like a remarkable
            deal, but not if they have been charged and discharged for
            2-3 years worth of power outages.____

            ____

            I have bought new-old-stock AGM telecom batteries that sat
            on pallets for 12 months, and they required almost no
            charging to bring them up to full state of charge.  (I think
            after a year from date of manufacturer they can’t be sold as
            new anymore.)  Flooded cell batteries would be a different
            story if they were just sitting there discharging since
            2014, they would probably be totally discharged.____

            ____

            I am planning a home solar setup and came across someone
            that is selling the batteries from a 3 Phase UPS. There are
            36x ups12-300mr(12v at 78AH) I think that I could get the
            whole lot for ~$600. the batteries have a date of
            manufacture of 2014. Is this a good deal.
