Being a Lifeline I would count on replacing it no sooner than 2019.. Lifeline is the cadillac of AGM's. and usually last around 10 years. I'm assuming the Prior Owner quickly did the upgrade.. That battery is slightly larger than a pair of GC-2's in series just so you know.
I often get into "Which is better threads 2 12s or 2 sixes)
Well, if you had two 8 D's that is clearly better than 2 GC-2, in fact the one you have is better than two GC-2s all by itself.
Other AGM's.. I'd expect to fail sooner, Some within the next year or two. AGM's for the most part do NOT outlast flooded wet cell no matter what my opposition says (I did the test myself).. Lifeline, however I did not test.
