As for $70 for some random brand module, that's just crazy as you either buy a few and start the whack-a-mole process or you buy all 28 modules for more than a true, brand-new battery from a Toyota Dealer.

Honda's OEM batteries stopped being from the original supplier after 2010ish, and became hardly better than aftermarket - probably because they used the same cheap Chinese cells, because the original Japanese ones simply did not exist anymore. After another 5 years there simply wasn't an OEM battery to purchase, period.
