How do you know that the cell is shorted? It is unusual that a 2 year old GC battery would fail like that. Have you tried to equalize the batteries? That might bring the bad one back. If the battery is truly bad and the others are truly good, I would have them load tested first to determine what state they are in. Based on that test I would make two battery banks, put the two best ones together and the two lower capacity ones together. I have the Sams Club batteries in my MH that are now 10 years old and I dry camp 95 % of the time. My first set were Trojans which lasted me only 4 years. The difference was learning battery maintenance not that one brand is better than the other. So I would not be afraid to buy another Sams Club battery.
