I didn't find your conversion on http://evalbum.com

Not from experience, but from readings, I believe AGMs will go only a 
few hundred cycles with a max of maybe 500.  Floodeds might go 1000 if 
well treated.

However, the lack of maintenance and corrosion and higher power density 
(not necessarily energy density) add to the AGMs attractiveness.
