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...

Well I screwed that up, but maybe still get the answer, depending on what Mex says.
Turns out I only had two batteries banked. I missed a connection with Stark 2 back under the sink. Didn't notice this morning because all the batts were near same voltage.
So I took 220AH from the 350AH bank I did have (by temp at 333AH, so I am down to about 34% on the 6G and Stark 1, while Stark 2 is still full.
On disconnecting the bank and a couple minutes for bounce back, voltages are: 6G--12.10, Stark 1--12.12
EDIT: After an hour of bounce back 6g--12.16, Stark 1--12.17
EDIT 2--After 2 1/4 hrs 6G --12.16, Stark 1--12.17 no change in last hour.
--------------------------
SO-- now recharging. Can't stand leaving them that low and they are close in voltage now, so I ASSume they will be close in voltage tomorrow. Mex can comment if any of this proves anything at all.
---------------------------
The vague voltage/SOC graph says 34% should be about 12.2 so that works. Now I am supposed to wait till tomorrow afternoon to recharge them. ( I don't like to leave them at 34% like that. Maybe Mex can give me a break on that when they have more bounce back time but not all 24? )
