Looking at a battery charger from the Amazon warehouse it’s described as used very good “Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged.” Its 28% off brand new price.
That’s like £ 11 can Amazon be trusted or will the item be untested.

It’s for a pressure washer, I wouldn’t expect them to have batteries lying
around to test it on.

I doubt it'll have been tested, just inspected for obvious damage.
I have bought similarly described items from Amazon Warehouse, on the
understanding that if damaged they'll take it back just like any other
(non-marketplace) item.
It says here “All of our products go through a quality check by us prior to being sold. We thoroughly test the functional and physical condition of
each item and give the product a specific grade before selling it. “

It's fine if you're willing to buy stuff and wrestle with customer services if it's broken, but I wouldn't do it if you needed the item in a hurry and can't wait to reorder another one, or you were going to put it somewhere where replacing a faulty item would be annoying (eg car, plumbing, or electrical parts where the cost is dwarfed by the time it takes to fit them).
I'd expect that a battery charger either works or it doesn't, which
you'll find out straight away. A few scratches wouldn't matter.

I've had things which are either plain faulty (somebody returned it and Amazon just tossed it on Warehouse to resell it) or missing parts. They typically under describe issues - all this stuff about scratches or 'packaging might be damaged' when they fail to mention much bigger flaws.

If they could send an already opened and faulty item to a customer who paid for a brand new one, then that doesn’t bode well for their warehouse deals.
