What's your concern with the battery? It's an Advanced Glass Matt (AGM), which is the latest technology, but pretty standard fare these days on all higher-end marques.
If you're concerned about a handful of "car won't start issues," reported in the F-Type section of this forum, those aren't usually due to the battery itself. They seem to have been due to various charging system issues including software, and grounding straps not making adequate contact.
The vast majority have had no starting or dead battery issues. I've had no issues in 18 months, even though my car has periods where it's idle for up to a couple of weeks. Any longer than that, and I keep mine on a battery maintainer just to be safe. That's simple, cheap insurance. I do the same on all modern cars, which are loaded with a lot more electronics than in the past. These systems can cause parasitic drain even when the car is shut down.

That's the bad part about threads that point out flaws; most of the time it's an irregularity, but people are usually more vocal about a battery that doesn't work than one that does.
