I know nothing about Trojan batteries. I don't even know if you are referring to flooded or AGM batteries. I did check my Lifeline manual and for 25% the life expectancy does indeed drop to about 500 cycles. I rarely go below 50% and typically I am 75% or greater. That gives me about 2000 cycles and I am unlikely to hit anywhere near that amount in 10 years or so that I would expect to keep the batteries.
