Kinda like saying a remanufactured motor doesn't last as long as a factory new one.

All I can say is I've read dozens of threads and talked to several people and I haven't known one that has had an aftermarket battery last for more than 2 or 3 years with the exception of ones that are nearly the same price as the OEM battery.
Of course that may not be the truth for everyone as negative data tends to be more popular. But the negative experiences people have had are enough to turn me away from buying a battery for my Prius that's less than $1,500. And even then, there are only a couple battery makers that I trust that are above that price.
