Refurbished POS hardware, sensible?

For side stations, pop-ups and backup devices, refurbished is fine. For main till and terminals: new, with manufacturer warranty and update path. Refurbished terminals are often end-of-life for security patches.

Try this first

1. 1Only buy refurbished from a vendor with 6+ months warranty.
2. 2Ask for a battery report on mobile POS tablets.
3. 3Verify the manufacturer still ships security updates for that model.
4. 4Keep a new terminal as primary, refurbished only as backup.

None of the above fits?
