This thread serves to remind me why so many OEMs demand their products be "push button no think"

Absorbed glass mat batteries were sooooooooooooooooo temperature sensitive, they would not exist. The manufacturers would have gone out of business decades ago.
And yet MOST AGM batteries spend their life underhood in bake oven conditions subjected to pure S&M charge regimens dictated by alternator voltage regulators.
AGMs are FLAGSHIP PRODUCTS. Pure Ego on parade. They demand the very finest lifespan and performance figures they can achieve. So manufacturers put forth maintenance declarations that are stricter than the morals of an 80 year old spinster.
Can you blame them?
For a decent COMPARISON between batteries in order to glimpse perspective of weight, amp hours and CCA refer to the following PDF download manual from Lifeline. Compare with your choice.
Lifeline does not try and represent their AGM a being anything other than a true profoundly cyclable AGM

The DEKA is a good battery. Buy it. Install it. Do the best you RATIONALLY can with voltage temperature. Then enjoy the battery.
Sufficient recharging amperage is 100 times as important than tweaking two tenths of an absorb or float volt.
Or is this maelstrom of confusion/perplexity/ambiguity going to continue on?
