I suspect that the real story here is liability concerns related to battery safety and or fire concerns related to the aftermarket battery and the lack of long term performance data on them.
it would be a disaster to have aftermarket batteries that had a tendency to burn at the rate the Bolt batteries did prior to the recall, so the owner in Florida wanted genuine gM and found out what we all know:
Reproductions are not NOS - and you are gonna pay through the nose for real NOS parts especially if they are discontinued.
