It all depends on the ambient temperature with regards to storage. I have not researched the small flooded maintenance chargers to see how they curve out versus converters.
A good AGM underhood will endure 10-12 years unless it is in Frostbite Falls or Phoenix AZ.
To choose an AGM for power princess pole duty is rather poor to begin with. Fine China for a Power Lunch. Forgot how many but I have recommended the cheapest warehouse engine starting battery for many users. 1% antimony, less electrolysis, less quiescent loss and well able to endure rest area duty once or twice a year. Money well saved.
But to dither over minuscule variations in float voltages is less than worthless. Many have obviated AGM because of seeming float temperature ambiguity. This is just plain nuts.
I'm going to give up on this. Facts have been presented and people are going to be people. I don't get paid to argue these points. But I do have hope that folks who can reason this out can arrive at their own conclusion.
I will say this: Stuff a Lifeline under the hood of a car, and compare lifespan to any flooded battery. Cost per year. That's the only thing that matters. Why is reality (perspective) so hard for some folks?
