YOU'RE telling everyone that in essence this must be unreliable because it's a good price. What did you base that on, that you don't like their website? If you aren't interested, why not just move along instead of overtly bashing quality based on...no evidence offered at all from you. So just a gut feeling?
If you don't trust reviews, and you don't trust deal posters, and you don't trust established brand names, then what exactly do you use as evidence to make purchase decisions?

Lithium is dropping pretty quickly, due to thermal run away I would stay clear of the po4 batteries but LTO with some alternator voltage mods is very promising.
If only car manufacturers would stop trying to sell $300 batteries as part of their money making models for the stealerships allot of lead could be saved being transported, stockpiled for recycling, then processed into new junk batteries only to be shipped back across the ocean under some Chinese brand.
I live in Florida. Not a chance in hell any battery exposed to the elements is gonna last 8 years. But Noco will give me another battery when mine dies in 4 years. Advance Auto or Oreillys wouldn't do shit for me after I brought in a battery that wasn't even 2 years old. I'm not depending on the battery, I'm depending on the warranty and customer support quality.
Here are a few things to know.
AGM is proven. It was actually invented in the 1970's. This sounds old until you realize that the current tech of the lead/acid that you are now using was invented in the 1800's.
Do not just take the word of the system to if this will fit your car.
According to the system, the AGM that I am using would not fit and it fit just fine.
To make sure if it is the right battery for you you need to check these things...
Size...height/width/length. It does not need to exact. It just needs to be able to fit into the hole that you have now. It also needs to fit on the plate your battery sits on. I would be stunned if you did not have a couple of inches of extra play there.
+ and - poles need to be on the correct sides. Now you may be saying..."Just turn it around". Uhhh...no...you will notice that the poles sit towards the side and not in the dead center. Typically your battery cables do not allow for that much distance from the original.
12v, of course.
And CCA or Cold Cranking Amps. Having more than the original battery is not a problem. In fact, that is a good thing. You just do not want less.
Lastly...some people may have side mounts and not top mounts. Just pick up some adapters....and make sure that you factor the adapters in when measuring the hole the battery goes into.
Until the price of lithium car batteries come down, this is the way to go.
They last longer. They are more tolerant of heat. They can sit unused longer.
COVID and the cars just sitting killed a couple of batteries for me and led me to find this option.

Only brand that's 100% made in America is Deka/East Penn (Duracell, etc), both JCI/Clarios and Exide have moved south of the border on many of their lines.

Totally agree...they worry about using straws and not batteries, tires, tons of dirty fuel used by the ships that bring us the toxic stuff from the CCP.

500CCA is pretty low. I suspect it is under the min CCA most people have in their cars.
I think that I saw you live in FL. You may be able to get away with 500CCA as you are warmer year round.
I would say that the entire north does not have this level of forgiveness in the winter.
