The times I have read about Lifeline AGM not living upto expectations, is when they were never recharged at a 20% or higher rate from their most depleted state.
Most of the time the owners claimed to recharge upto ,then hold at 14.4v, till amps taper to 0.5% of capacity, and seemed to willfully ignore the lifeline recommendation of 20% or higher charge rate when regularly cycled to 50% SOC/DOD.
Be glad you do not have to meet Odysseys 40% rate, on that much battery capacity.
Odyssey capacity recovery procedure is also a fairly unique recommendation, and nothing like Lifeline:
