I'd do an equalization charge on those batteries. Do a search here on how to equalize charge. You need to check specific gravity of each cell first. You also need to bring each battery, seperately, up to about 16.0V each.
You might find the voltage from an Iota being better at charging your battery.
I'd recommend at least 160 to 200W of solar panel and an adjustable charge controller for your solar panel that will get you a full 14.8V at the battery terminals, daily, in bulk and absorption recharging modes before going in to float mode.
