No surprise that booster's links show high rate of potential fraud. Need we even have looked?
PS - Just in case the shipping cost was $300 per battery and that was the way they were making money, I tried going to their web site and my Norton Security blocked it with a warning.

OOOH, you are braver than I am, I wasn't going anywhere near their site(s) unless I switched to alternate hard drive and operating system I have for just such of thing. It is setup and backed up as disposable, so it something bad happens, I just take the whole thing off and reload it from a backup.

In addition to Script blockers on my PC, Norton Security won't actually load suspected sites. Instead it brings up a warning screen that you must ok to proceed. I never overrule Norton.

Oh year, I have all that also with Kaspersky and Malwarebyte, but some stuff, if you click on it, will still get through because they bury an accept function is other things. We tend to be very careful and also have a third hard drive and operating system that we use only for critical stuff like bill paying, banking, financial stuff so no general purpose sites ever.

Smells like a scam.
The domain name was created only 16 days ago.
They didn't spend much time creating their website, most things like their "About Us" page are just copied from someone else, not even close.
So yeah, like your title says...

Sometimes the "Smells" are more subtle, e.g. roadtrek etrick ambassadors.
