As I've mentioned before, having two aging hybrids of my own and having spoken with and looked up on forums dozens of people who have dealt with rebuilt batteries the consensus is that rebuilt batteries, whether by a company or DIY, are good for up to a year, maybe two. I have rebuilt one hybrid battery myself. But I know i will be needing to replace it soon, and that will be with a dealer OEM battery unless I decide to sell it soon.
