had trouble free use for 10 years and 80k, now no start

This is not a deep cycle battery(nor should it be). If the battery gets discharged, and is not recharged promptly, it's life will be shortened. AGM or not, it's got to stay charged. In extreme cold, an AGM will fare better, as a discharged flooded battery is more prone to freeze.
Just trying to make sure nobody prematurely blames the battery.

problem solved: optima redtop battery was bad, no fault in vehicle!
got new battery as warranty.
...but noticed that waterpump leaks badly, now needs that and new cat converter. luckily had that ordered due rattle noises from exhaust.
