Chassis batteries are Starting Type. does not matter if Flooded wet, Maintenance Free or AGM.. They need to provide a lot of peak amps (As compared to capacity) for a short time
HOUSE you need a lot of capacity (AMP-HOURS) as opposed to peak amps.
Now folks claim all sorts of advantages for AGM.. With one and possibly 2 exceptions I have not found those claims to be valid. The exceptions:
1: No "This side up" sticker.. You can mount them on their side, on end, however you wish.
2: Very very low gasing (If you are using them INSIDE the living area)
In the specific case of LIFELINE AGM (not other brands) Faster recharge IF and only IF you have a converter or other charger able to ship the amps (Most do not).
And they have one big di$advantage.. CO$T.. Way more expensive
Thus for the house I recommend GC-2's
