It's rated at 275 CCA, which isn't that great
In regular service people expect their cars to start at least as low as -10F, in comfortable temperatures over 40F or so you will be just fine.
I have one what they call now "AGM" batteries. I think that stands for absorbed? glass matt? The one in my formula ford has lasted decades, got some of those from an expired computer backup supply in the 80's and it worked fine last time I used it maybe 5-6 years ago. Because there is so little electrolyte in the battery they work better. The electrolyte causes problems like reactions that deposit sulfur on the plates when they are discharged.
Do not over charge them or deplete them all the way and they may last as long a very long time. DIsconnect, with a master switch makes that easy, when not being used for a long time. I also use the terminals on the master switch to connect a trickle charger when required, my formula car doesn't have an alternator so that is basically all the time at an event. Use a voltmeter to monitor the charge there should be info with the battery to help with that.
Also keep the battery clean. The stuff that coats the battery can be enough to discharge it, but I think that's just a big issue with the old vented batteries you added water to. The coating becomes acidic and acid is conductive.
