every little bit counts right
The benefit of purchasing locally is just driving in to get the battery tested and swapped if defective within the 3 year warranty. On that note, don't go to Costco for batteries, they suck ever since they started the pro-rated refund.
Edit: Not dumping on the deal, I bought the H6. No core charge for recycling means I can keep the existing one which is mostly functional as a backup (remote start was failing which is a high cutoff). I figured my scenario is low risk.

Digging in a little further, a diode has an inherent forward voltage drop of .2-1V, depending on diode type. The ECM sees this circuit as its system voltage monitoring point and adjusts the alternator's output upwards by that same amount, making your AGM battery a happy camper without side effects.
My 3rd gen doesn't have the ALT-S fuse circuit so it is controlled by the ECU only. I'll just use a battery tender (I linked below) and top it off every month or two.
Mine sold tax free so that helped with another 7% off

Is your boat on a ctek?
The Weize effectively has no warranty
Either buy 1 yr warranty lead acid battery from walmart or buy AGM online for a standard battery, imo. Last one I bought was weize group 47 for $107 total.
Looking at the "WEIZE Platinum AGM Car Battery BCI Group 49 - 12V 95Ah H8 Automotive Battery" if it is different for different SKUs.
Looking to replace a Walmart Everstart maxx H8 that never worked well for a 2008 BMW 335XI
Hoping this one will be robust for many winters to come.

The vehicle would sit for extended periods of time, as it's not the only vehicle in service, and those cars are power hungry.
So I kept a small lithium jetski battery in the rear bin, and jumped it via a 50A SMH plug fairly frequently...over the last 2 years. That little group 20 NOCO NLP20 battery had enough in it to start the vehicle alone. Yet the Walmart one would constantly be problematic, particularly in the winter.
But since it was never a priority, just kept rolling with it hoping for a suitable deal to pop up, hope this one is a good choice. Usually default to enthusiast forums for prescriptive replacements, but those groups don't seems to be enthusiastic about which cell to select and why.
Question if anyone knows, when the specific profile for Ah and chemistry is not available for explicit selection , what is the "correct" selection if any?
Is it simply to select the closest capacity with the correct chemistry cell? It there any guidance on over/under capacity selection given the cell isn't identical to the options given when registering a new replacement BMW cell?

I agree with Bubba. If they're sitting, definitely hook up a trickle charger. The nice ones have auto desulphate modes. If it's a bunch of cars, I think I'd install a socket underneath bumper (or wherever is convenient and hidden) to hook up the trickle charger. Just like a standard DC plug or even banana plugs.
I can definitely see BMWs eating power, b/c all of the computer buffoonery and overengineered crap.
