KorinFox. •. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. It's so cheap just to buy a new one with a warranty, and if it does ever go bad, you're stuck somewhere. Also, bad batteries may test well, but not actually be any good. Active_Cancel_3686. •. Lol a new battery ranges from $150-$200+ that’s not cheap at all.
I have a Walmart “value” 24f Neverstart in my car right now, I do not recommend, it came with the car when I bought it in 2020, it has a date code of 2020, a year after using it, the battery capacity and cranking amps just fell off the map, I can crank my car for literally 5 seconds before the voltage drops and you have no power left, don ...
It's commonly said that car batteries will be practically unusable after only 15-20 discharges due to this degradation. A deep discharge down to less than 8 volts can actually be enough to kill the cells, making the battery unusable. Lead acid batteries that are designed for deep discharge have solid plates.
For auto's temperature range of lithium doesn't support charging below freezing and temperatures above above 50 C which traditional batteries blow away.

My car battery died, so yesterday I called AAA roadside assistance to get it replaced. I'm an AAA member, I pay $64 per year, partial benefit small discount on car batteries which cost $200. The technician charged me an extra $20 for the installation. During the installation, the battery looked used, but the tech insisted that it was new battery.
My trucks everstart battery is from 2016 and still going strong. Started up last winter no problems in 5 degree weather. A few months ago I changed a family member’s car battery. It was also an everstart that was like 13 years old. But it was a Chevy cobalt so the battery was in the trunk well protected from the environment. Looked damn near new.
Go to the dealer, here's what would happen at our dealership. We would first test the battery, if it was a bad battery we would replace it at no cost to you, apologize and send you on your way. If it was the alternator we most likely would offer it to replace it on the spot for just the cost of the parts and void any labor charges.

No harm in it; especially if you just bought it. But it’s likely the original battery that didn’t show replacement signals when it went through the recon service, then after a couple of weeks of inconsistent use, the battery probably died. You bought a 6 yr old car. A battery is a wear item. Buy your own battery.
