Fully charge individual same type of batteries
Let rest for 5 days. Check voltage oc. Do they agree >.1< ?
Series string, under charging, at more than than 30% total amp hours rate. Measure INDIVIDUAL BATTERY VOLTAGE. Is the acceptance within .1 ?
Yes to both questions? The batteries agree. Go for it.
AGM batteries use virgin lead. And acid density of 1.300
Flooded batteries use whatever lead alloy in the positive plates and even hybrid plates, therefore using different brands or different grades is a no-no.
