I am skeptical about aftermarket batteries being both good and cheap. For the past 10 years we've been promised that any day shops are going to start making aftermarket batteries with tons of range for a reasonable price but so far that hasn't happened. If hybrids are anything to go by, I rarely see an aftermarket battery that doesn't have a terrible rating of lasting two or three years tops unless it costs more than the OEM one.
