I am curious how you arrived at 10.5 volts. The chart is showing how many charge/discharge cycles to expect for different depths of discharge. My perception is that for the extreme case of 100% it would be 0 volts and of course some other calculable value at other percentages. So each point of the chart is going to be different voltage at discharge.

The other factor is that Lifeline batteries are AGM batteries and thus preform somewhat differently than regular lead plate batteries. I'm guessing that this graph would show significant shorter number of cycles life towards the right (higher percentage of discharge) side if it were for non-AGM batteries. These are my opinions not to be confused with facts.
