A lot of hybrids, like the Prius [1] have a second battery designed for turning over the engine that are designed for different usage cases than the drivetrain batteries; it's also why this battery has a supercapacitor for starting, and lithium polymers for the rest of the time. Additionally, there are a lot of people who like older cars, think hotrodders, etc, where a battery like this would also be useful. It's definitely more of a niche product, but I do see a market for more than five years.
