I'm not trying to start an argument or anything like that but my experience with the Optimas has been just the opposite from yours. By the way the Optimas are AGM batteries. They are just wound as a spiral instead of stacking square plates. I have found that my Optimas last at least twice as long as wet cell batteries. I have two old 'red top' Optimas that are still going strong after 8 years. These are in two of my vehicles. I suspect if you are killing AGM Optimas, there might be something wrong with your charging procedure. Like I said, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything. Just sharing my own experience for those who are interested.
Cheers
