Weize US is having a sale on highly rated Platinum Series AGM automotive batteries.
Use code CART at checkout to get prices in thread title (additional 5% off sale prices). Shipping is free on all orders and sales tax is included in sale prices, so that's final price with shipping. Packaging on these is widely reported to be excellent for protection during shipping transport. I'm currently right at 2 years in service with the Weize Platinum 48/H6 AGM and it's been flawless.
Compare to next best local price of ~$180 at Walmart for Everstart AGM. Smaller sizes offer more savings by comparison.
If you're wondering what size your car/truck needs, your old battery is usually marked with BCI or Group size on the top or front side of the battery.

Weize Platinum AGM batteries, like other AGM batteries, are designed for vehicles with start-stop technology, offering enhanced cranking power and longer lifespan compared to standard flooded batteries, but are generally more expensive.
I wondered what the difference between the Platinum and regular AGM batteries.
Also any suggestions on what to do with the old batteries since it looks like Weize doesn't want those back?

AGM life is typically 4-6 years. I've seen them go longer when kept near full charge at all times. in storage, a cheap 12V charger with float function, combined with an AC mechanical dial timer set to run for an hour or so a day, will keep your stored battery hot and fully topped off without "cooking" it.
Edit: I should add that storing a new battery for extended periods prior to use is generally not advisable, as it ages regardless of whether it's being used.

Thank you! I do have a 1 amp battery charger/maintainer I can use. Might as well pick one up while it's on sale. Appreciate you posting.

As far as chargers go, the ones with zero buttons or switches are the ones I use because they power up and down well without supervision. The Everstart 1 Amp linked below is great for the task; it has maintainer in the title but it's a basic charger with float. Works great with a timer on batteries 35AH and smaller. Anything larger I'd recommend a 2 amp.
For the record, I want to reach full charge cutoff voltage daily for a short period to prevent sulfation. Your car's alternator does that every day without drying out the battery.

That being said, the weather is getting warmer. A lot of times those suspect batteries work just fine until the next fall.
Think 78 Cadillac/Chevrolet era.
Last month I bought group size 35 and 47. Currently they are each $7 cheaper right now

My original battery died due to me installing a new dashcam and not setting the proper voltage on when it should turn itself off (ended up draining my battery to 11.8v).
After charging it for 2 days and reconfiguring the dashcam to cut off at a higher voltage I've been fine.
But I do agree, if that wasn't my issue and my battery was going out, I would straight up swap it right now to prevent future issues.
