AGM Batteries are great, but you must know how to maintain them. I own a large Marina and RV Park. Been selling Batteries for over 30 years. AGM secrets? Total charging voltage should be at 14.4 volts, no more, or less. A lot of RV convertors are more like a power supply with fixed voltages, not really a good charger. The best way is to install a quality charger, or quality Solar. No discharge below 50%, keep cool when charging, purchase only high end AGM's. We sell Lifeline. The deep cycle Batteries, when properly maintained, can last up to 12-15 years. Some Marine chargers will cycle the Battery every 21 days. This really makes them last.
