It's a matter of whether the dealers get paid for handling the factory warranty.
If the factory does not adequately compensate the dealers for a battery bought from another dealer, why should they do it ?

Just had two of my four Odyssey PC680 batteries crap out after 2 years of service although an identical set on the other buss are fine.  I called the local Odyssey/EnerSys dealer and found that they will not handle warranty claims for batteries bought elsewhere.  I phoned Odyssey and learned that is a common problem.  Kinda like a local Ford dealer refusing to work on Fords purchased elsewhere.  Just be aware that for warranty replacements you may have to deal directly with the factory in MO (who are actually nice folks - they just have some weasels for dealers).
