Bank These Batteries? UPDATE
Updated 28 April (Changed topic so starting new thread) Now I need an opinion/facts if I can bank this big one with my two smaller AGMs even though they have different "cycle use" charging specs...

Got them at hit the wall fully charged separately and on their Floats. I am always on a Float charge at home. Right now I float them separately but to the same voltage--13.8 with a temp adjustment if really hot or cold.
So next step would be to bank them and discharge to about 50%. My bank wiring would be the two 100s as a 200 in parallel with the 250 for 450 and put load/charge across between the 200 and 250 via Trimetric shunt for negs.
Discharge at 22.5a (20 hr rate) for about 10 hours and stop when AH are down 225. Disconnect all three and let them sit for 24 hours and check the three voltages.
What would it mean if they are not the same? How different is too different?
I can bank them today, do the 10 hr tomorrow, and the wait day Sunday, get the voltages Sunday evening.
