No, see, they - AGM makers - say that the capacity is compromised once in storage SOC is down to 60. No mentioning for how long left afterwards. At least, this is how I read it.
Again, - by the time AGM in storage drops to 60%, which is in 8 or 10 months in warm weather, a flooded battery would die or become REALLY damaged due to self-discharge. This is the point often overlooked when comparing AGM to flooded - low self-discharge of the former.
