Bob86zz4, I can't say that I am sure. The manufacturers published specifications that I posted listed 750 cycles for Flooded cells vs. 1000 for AGM. That's just one example, and I don't claim to have done exhaustive research. I suspect that there are tons of convoluting variables, just one being how dilligent you are with maintaining the batteries at the proper fluid level. I am also told that the AGM's are supposed to be a bit tougher mechanically because the glass mat separates the plates and keeps them from shorting together. All I know is what I read, and while it sounds plausable I can't personally confirm it.
