Just because an aftermarket battery is available, doesn't mean it's the same quality as Bosch. I won't be ordering from "Chinese eBay" for a replacement for my $4,000 bike any time soon!

2nd that. I'd rather spend the money and buy a Bosch pack from a dealer. For one, if there is a problem with the Bosch battery you have a place to return it and get the replacement. From what I've heard, Bosch has been good about replacing batteries through their delaers. And having batteries shipped if ordered from overseas can't be cheap or easy and I suspect will be getting more difficult and expensive in the near future.

My biggest issue is the small capacity of the batteries on offer, as well as lack of connections. A single USB port with a measly 500mA is not enough! I want at least 1A into the mobile phone, plus energy for an action camera, sound system and grip warmers (in winter). So when I see 1kWh and 2kWh aftermarket batteries, it's very tempting. They are not Bosch-compatible, though. But they'll work perfectly fine with Yamaha drives, apparently.

After due consideration and huge temptation, I opted for the 500 wH Bosch battery as an upgrade and backup to the stock 400 wH battery that came with my Haibike. I'm now somewhat free from the constrained US dealership network since I also upgraded to a Nyon setup which allows me to update via the Internet. The entire package is simply too expensive to walk away from an occasional visit to a certified dealer. If folks have success with the generic versions, I'll be watching for their results. Cheers.
