That battery has a lower 7.2Ah capacity and smaller F1 terminals so technically not RBC17-compatible despite saying so (one reviewer used pliers to compensate for the loose connection). Mighty Max does have a 9Ah battery with F2 terminals for $23.55, curiously shipped and SOLD by Amazon [amazon.com] which may or may not be a good thing: for SLA battery with a limited storage/shelf life, some may prefer the seller ship fresh stock directly from their own warehouse (as with your 7.2Ah listing).
OP's listing is good when your friend needs a battery, since you don't want to be blamed for getting an off-brand if it doesn't work. For myself, I usually buy at least 2, and I can get (2) 9Ah for around $40 shipped from battery specialists like BatterySharks.com. Those popular CyberPower 1350VA/1500VA UPS towers each take two 7Ah/8Ah/9Ah F2 batteries (model RB1270/RB1280/RB1290) if you reuse the old wiring harness.
Also, I ensure that the UPSes that I buy can take the larger 7-9Ah battery size (as smaller sized batteries aren't much cheaper). Those used to be commonly $40 and under back in the Staples coupon days but for the last few years the cheaper models come with physically smaller 5.5-6Ah batteries.

Lots of videos on it. You do want to be safe. And it is a fair argument to use LifePo4 for this. But it is very possible to do this and it works very well.
Since you brought this up. I am up for a new car battery for my 2015 nissan sentra. I am hunting for deals but cant find any. Any suggestions?

These appear to be CSB batteries from what I can tell, and it's nice that they already come wired up (recently replaced two batteries in a Cyberpower that didn't come coupled and was kind of a pain). Is what I linked a good price, or would you recommend ordering elsewhere? I also found these for $30 but are not wired up, and I have no idea the quality compared to the APC: https://www.batteryshar

The higher VA the UPS, the higher discharge rate of the battery has to support.
The 1500VA Cyberpower UPS I have is using battery that support discharge of continuous 100A+ current.
Some reliable brand 12V 9AH high discharge for UPS costs $40+.
Other sellers just sell you some generic 12V 9AH without any specification sheet. You end up using battery that cannot supply enough power for your devices during outage and blame the UPS thinking your battery is new and good.
