I do see that CheetahStand (who repairs these) does offer a "battery reboot" for $40. With that said.. if you need the light for a paid shoot, you can't just hope the battery is working.
I'm sure there are some with an issue, but it's not exactly widespread. These are incredible lights, especially for this price.
One thing I will note - these can run for LONG periods of time on the battery, but using the modeling light is what kills it quickly. I don't use the modeling light, and no issues!

Do you need battery powered or wired? I always prefer battery so I can take it places.. but in a studio a wired flash might do just as good (and save you some $$)
Do you want LED or a strobe? For product photography, sometimes having an LED or constant light is nice so you can actually see the light and how it's affecting the subject (the product!) without using a flash bulb. Flash/bulbs will typically get you more power (and be more portable via the battery power)
Aside from that, I'm a big fan of the Godox/Flashpoint lights. They use a common mount (Bowens) so most accessories will work with them.. they also have built in transmitters so you don't need to buy and attach extras.. You can also change the power remotely from the camera/transmitter instead of going to the flash itself.. and the line is easy to expand. I have 3x AD600's and a couple wireless speedlights, and all work within the same system easily.
One of the benefits of these are that if something happens to it.. it's generally (somewhat) easy to find a replacement part or bulb. With some off-brand lights they may change battery packs or bulb types regularly and can be difficult to find the one you need.

The juice don't last as long when compare to the older version.
