Reply From Concorde Battery re Lifeline Float
"Thank you for your inquiry. The float voltage spec is 13.2 to 13.4 volts at 25°C. This may be lower than other AGM manufacturers, but these specs have been used for many years on Lifeline batterie...

According to my Magnum inverter/charger setup instructions, there are two settings for AGM batteries, one for Lifeline, the other for East Penn, Deka, Discover and Trojan AGM batteries. When looking at the charge voltages for each type, the Lifelines receive 13.1V vs 13.5V on float charge and 14.3V vs 14.5V on absorption charge. You can see that Magnum actually uses a little less float voltage than Concorde recommends. I actually doubt that the voltage regulator on the Magnum can regulate it that finely. Of course it also uses a battery temperature sensor to alter the charge rate if necessary. I have found that the 13.1V have maintained my Lifelines fine.
The Magnum also has a custom setting so that you can change charge rates to anything you wish.
I suspect you are correct that the higher charge you are using from your WFCO may shorten the life a little but not drastically.
