Can't compare numbers across manufacturers, they do not use the same testing protocol, as there is no standard.
It's pretty hard to skew, screw up, or put a spin on - number of cycles versus depth of discharge testing and it's results ... other than out-and-out lie about it. The same goes for a battery's weight.
This thread reminds me of something: Many folks seem to think that (all other specs being about equal) two deep cycle liquid acid 6 volters in series are somehow superior to two deep cycle liquid acid 12 volters in parallel. I wonder if that somehow superior reasoning still applies to two deep cycle AGM 6 volters versus two deep cycle AGM 12 volters?
FWIW, last year when I was researching for the purchase of two new AGMs for our rig, a Rolls-Surette battery marine supplier in Florida told me that RS was having Fullriver supply certain models in the RS line until RS got their AGM production up and running. I bought an equivalent Fullriver model through a local supplier at that point.
