I believe there's Dorman as well as one other, can't remember. Dorman and Bumblee's cheaper batteries do not in fact use new cells, but instead salvage and match the best cells from existing old Honda packs from the cores people return to them. It's more often the case that the original packs have a few cells much better or worse than the rest, resulting in the packs getting quickly out of balance and the weakest cells getting very abused, causing a cascading failure. The "BeeMax" are the ones with new cells but frankly they may not last any longer than the salvaged cells.
