I'm not sure I understand why - surely a hundred buck battery is best for these cars and and using a trickle charger or on/off switch for infrequent use
Good question I put one in my 458 and have largely freed myself from the admittedly small but nonetheless ever present battery tender inconvenience Was hoping to do the same for the 328
I am looking at it, but... The 308, at least, takes a 34R battery and I find no 34R Li-Ion batts available, just size 34. Probably have to splice in some extra battery cable, which isn't a huge deal. I am more interested in the weight savings vs other benefits. Doug
I have not tried the AG on the 328 yet I don’t use a battery tender on the AG in the 458 unless it sits more than a month
I put one in last spring. For the weight savings which also makes moving the batt in and out of a hard to get location "so" much easier. Note that there are people who will accuse you of heresy, apostasy, and animal fornication if you tell them you went with a Li-Ion battery. Not sure if its because they can't afford one, or they really believe all Li-Ion batteries blow up because "the charging regulator in the alternator must be changed to match the Li-Ion battery charging characteristics". https://earthxbatteries.com/engine-charging-systems-use-lithium-batteries You do need to get a Li-Ion capable trickle charger, if you are going to put one of those on.

Quick look at their website. (using as example ) ETX1600 battery -$899. If your alternator puts out more than 160 amps you need (2) ETX batteries in parallel. Lead battery = 50 pds. Earth battery = 10 pds. Special charger required. I’ll stick with my $100 Walmart battery. On my second one after 12 years of ownership. I would however be interested to hear how this new battery totally transformed your driving experience. (or if it malfunctioned and burned your garage down) just kidding this morning!
