Absolutely, something to think about I guess.
However I do note:
3.47 of 5 (by 19 reviewers)
I looked to see how may they sold last year, couldnt redily see that number but Im pretty confident that its 1000 x the 20 reviews here. Id bet on a 0.01% failuer rate
Not an expert, just what I chose for me.

I understand this is an AGM design? So which charging cycle should I be using on my CTEK 3300 charger? The "Auto" mode or the "Snowflake/AGM" mode?
Is this considered a "Deep Cycle" battery?

Invest some time and watch the two videos below...
Paul Koerner Carlisle Seminars on C5 Column Lock Issues, Electrical Issues and the Right Battery
AC Delco Professional 78-6YR 700 CCA 120 RC (Part Number 19001632)
Note: 2004 C5 needs 86-6YR 700 CCA 120 RC
Both batteries have 30 month guarantees of free replacement
These specs are critical to how the C5 electrical system functions BEFORE you start the car. Successfully starting the car is not the important issue. That is secondary.
(Dealers will try to sell you the cheaper battery with a better margin for them. The cheaper ones have a carrying handle.)
Annual test should yield minimum 12.5 volts and 500 CCA … this test is CRITICAL for C5 Vettes and avoiding column lock issues and other electrical problems.
Never remove positive lead, remove negative lead anytime car will sit for 30+ days, on reinstall torque to 11 lbs.
