Consider it a rebate card or another $10 off if you need battery accessories.

Deep cycle batteries should be charged between uses as well, but can tolerate much deeper discharge without damage, so long as they're charged pretty quickly after use.
A starting battery can give you a much higher load in amps; a deep cycle battery is a reliable power source for long periods at lower amp loads.
As this vendor is doing everything by mail, and not a big outfit they are not charging a "core charge" or deposit since the cost to ship it back far exceeds any deposit. Not worth it. But worth it for you to take it to Advanced Auto or your local junk yard which pays you as well. Might be $5-$15 depending on the place.
In the end, many places will send all the batteries back to the manufacturer to melt down the lead or metals inside for new batteries.
The same can be charged for things like alternators, brake calipers and starters where they can clean them, rebuild them and resell them.

My current car, it's just way more complicated to change the battery. Too much stuff to move out of the way.
Does Costco install batteries?
The last time I bought one, I had another car so it was easy to install myself.
Read them all! if I did not reply likely because i was able to read them but not type(long story)
There are battery isolators you can install that keep the batteries electrically separated while at rest, but reconnect them to share loading and charging when they're being used. This should be necessary only in extreme cases of mismatch though. If your batteries are within a couple of tenths of a volt at rest you likely won't have any noticeable issues. Less voltage differential equals less current flow between the batteries and less power lost between uses, and they'll reach equilibrium in a shorter time frame.
I would not advise paralleling flooded and AGM batteries together at rest, because resting voltages at full charge can be quite a bit different between them, with AGMs usually being higher.
None of the above is an issue during loading or charging, because external forces make the batteries work in unison. When loading, the stronger one takes more of the load, and when charging, the more discharged one takes more of the incoming charge, automatically.

If you're stowing your batteries in a battery box, be sure to verify the fitment. The style of batteries in this post should be shorter in height and similar in width, however the length can vary. Marine boxes typically come in group 24, 27, and 29/31 sizes. Google those battery sizes and you can compare the length to 47/H5, 48/H6, 94RH7, etc.
Lastly, check your charging system for an AGM setting. Regular charging voltage will charge, but can significantly reduce the lifespan of an AMG battery that prefers a slightly lower, and much more narrow charging voltage range.
All of this is a moot point of you need deep cycle batteries. Although AGM is inherently better at cycling than most classic lead acid starting batteries, these are not designed for a deep discharge. They will work, but you'll be damaging the battery with each deep discharge.
'Do I need deep cycle batteries?'
If you plan to discharge the battery more than ~80% of the rated capacity, it's recommended. No matter what battery you decide to use, try to recharge them immediately after use. Do not allow them to sit discharged.
AGM prices have gotten out of hand lately. This company is bringing a high quality option to the market at a very low price and I applaud that. I would not hesitate to equip my boat with this brand based on how it's performing in my daily driver. AGM batteries offer some advantages in a marine environment, like not needing acid levels checked in awkward places, and not burping out acid that damages your boat's battery compartment. If upgrading from flooded batteries, I would make sure that your boat engine's charging system outputs at least 14.5V (more important if you spend days away from shore power), and have an onboard charger that's rated for AGM charging. AGMs like a little higher float voltage to achieve 100% charge.
Edit: I should add that these are primarily high amperage starting batteries. They can be used for tilt/trim, lights, or other accessories on a limited basis, but deep discharging them is a no-no, so I wouldn't recommend them for trolling motors. As with flooded batteries, trolling motor duty is best suited to a deep cycle battery.like this:

There is no long term track record for this.
I ended up buying Direct from the company and used Shop Pay to pay for it. so far still showing no tax and free ship. haven't tested the battery voltage yet. will update with that soon.
I will update my first post in this thread which is on page 2 (using SD app)

A starting battery can give you a much higher load in amps; a deep cycle battery is a reliable power source for long periods at lower amp loads.
These batteries can take 5 days to deliver which can be unacceptable when replacing a dead battery. However, this price is good.

Quote from my earlier comment: "They started selling automotive sizes in the US a year or so ago, best I can tell. We will only know in 4 or 5 more years how good the automotive ones are."
B. Amazon reviews are posted by ACTUAL OWNERS OF THE PRODUCT. That's how they're better.
C. I bought my Weize Group 48 AGM battery from Amazon in April of 2023 (which I can document). From Amazon's website: Date First Available March 8, 2023. How is that possible if they didn't start selling them until July?
So I've just proven the entire content of your comment to be false. Got any more unfounded speculation you want to throw my way?
