I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FJ243R7 instead.
Better value, more features.

E-brands can easily do paid 'verified' reviews because they are the seller. They control promo codes, special offers and secret sales. Brands sold by Amazon can't do those things, so paid reviews are much harder. NOCO uses old-fashioned hyperactive customer service to maintain their ratings instead.

1. He did not disassemble the units to see what cells are used. Cells made by Sony and Samsung have good long term stability. Those made by no-name manufacturers will test great initially, but the capacity will drop rapidly and they'll have safety/stability issues much sooner.
2. He did not test them in wet conditions. Half the times I have had to jump my car, it's either in the rain or snow.
3. He did not test safety features. Of course you should always be careful in your car engine bay and shouldn't do anything that might cause a sparking short, but accidents happen. Jump starters exist that are smart enough to prevent them.
I think the overall results would have looked a lot different if he had considered these aspects too. He was almost solely focused on who squeezed the largest capacity cells into their unit, no matter how cheap and short-lived those cells actually are.

Anyway, turns out it was a failing tailgate latch that kept trying to initiate itself randomly, eventually draining the battery. But currently waiting on the part to come in to install (covered under extended warranty). Hopefully will get the battery replaced too, considering it's less than a year old but has been fully discharged nearly a dozen times due to another defective factory part. I'm sure the battery has taken a big hit being jumped so many times. Idiots at the dealership didn't test the battery when I told them to a few days ago.
Btw, I actually work at the dealership (IT), and this is the brand the parts departments sell. Because they're actually industry recognized, reliable, and safe. Sure you could go with a no name brand, but as others have already mentioned, you might as well pay at least double because the no-name battery packs likely will go kaput that much quicker.
I like that it charges via MicroUSB (I'd prefer USB-C) as opposed to a barrel plug because I always have a charging cable around for it. I've also had a couple of "no name" brands in this category fail on me and not take a charge anymore.
Also be aware that these should only be expected to last about 2 years, because lithium batteries don't like to be stored in the heat nor at 100% capacity, but you need both if you expect it to be useful to you when you need it it will have to stay in the car and fully charged.
