My understanding is that Renogy do not make anything and they will simply be a rebadged product. Reviews show they do not provide good customer support but in this instance any warranty returns will be to Super Cheap Auto as they are the responsible seller.
The specifications are good and like many of these cheaper batteries it may have pouch cells but there is nothing specified in the specifications.. In saying that, there are images on the Renogy website that give the impression that they are prismatic cells and include compression to reduce expansion. The issue with that image is 100Ah prismatic cells are much larger than those depicted so the image is a false representation. Take a look at some tear downs of Renogy batteries and you will understand what I mean. I havent been able to find a tear down of the Pro Lite though.
To be honest I would consider these a better buy than any of the cheap Ebay batteries because you have a physical store if there are any warranty problems. I notice that Kings also have quite a few specials on for their LiFePO4 batteries and both these brands would probably suffice for the majority of people.

Hi Tim
Thanks for that, after having another look at these batteries, I can also not find on either the Renogy or Supercheap website, if the Pro Lite battery is Prismatic, Pouch, or Cylindrical cells in construction. Only that they are advertised (on both websites) as EV grade LIFeP04 lithium battery cells.
Hopefully anyone who wishes to purchase this battery, will ask the people selling them, exactly what type of cells are inside the case
I dont need any as I build my own but I did post about the VoltX 100Ah being on special at $279 a couple of months back. I bought one to test and was very impressed but I dont think we will see them at those prices again.
