Lifeline is one of the best AGM, and costs more, and I recall on that boating blog a while ago - when it was free - that expected duration was 2-4 years if charged to no more than 85% SOC and equalized once a month. Equalization is called "conditioning" in their manuals. Pretty wide range, as you can see. There was no number of cycles given.
Thanks for remembering that info and posting it.

My brand new Lifeline AGM lasted exactly 8 months,then wouldnt hold charge anymore!

its NOT the best imho and I would never get another one
Given your shallow discharges, this shouldn't have happened. Did you contact Lifeline, they're pretty good with sending out new batteries and providing technical support.
