Being an AGM type battery, they do not tolerate overcharging. A good solid state regulated alternator and a good computer controlled battery charger, designed to charge AGM batteries, will make them last a long long time. Of the 20 or so I own, only one has failed, and that at 16 years. But I have seen others seriously overcharge an AGM battery and wreck it at less than a year old.
