House batteries not up to ah rating
Bought 2 new Interstate SRM-24 group 24 RV/Marine batteries a few months ago. I have used the MH 4 times on trips lasting from 3-6 days. Never going below 40 amps before recharging. The rating is 85...

A badly sulfated battery can "want" .016 amps at 15 volts. You have to believe in your hydrometer readings. Kick that thing in the butt up to 15.5 volts
MW, how about 15.90 @1.2 amps? That's what battery A is getting from the 30watt solar with no controller.
Battery B is 15.42v @.6amps on solar 100watt with controller in equalization mode.
That's all she's got!
