The reddit thread below seems to have good info re Start-Stop cars:

My last AGM battery on the X5 was still going strong after 7 years. I chickened out and replaced it with another AGM battery a few weeks ago. Another AGM battery in my Z4M crapped out only after 2 years - Got to use it's "Free" replacement warranty on that.
