Improving a "Used" Battery Can be Done
I got a used pair of Trojan T-1275s (150 AH each , 82lbs) that the previous owners (new and used golf car dealer) claimed were at about 86% as good as new before they put them on the pallet where they...

Change to above plan. My faster recharge plan is to do the two 6s and one 12 (approx. 365AH) with the 100a charger and one 12 (approx. 135AH) with the 40, so I don't waste some of the 100 through early tapering by doing two batts each.
The 100a is PF corrected, so the Honda 3000 can run the 140a, where without that PF correction, its limit is 130a.
I will use the Trimetric on the 100a and the 40a has its own amp read-out to keep track of the recharge. The over-all AH count will be lost on the Tri, so I will have to keep notes to correct the reading shown there afterwards until the next time all batts are at true full and the Tri can be reset to zero.
When/if I carry all six batts (two 6s now at home on Float, replaced for now in trailer with the two 12s)I don't have a plan for how to recharge them all. I have a couple more Vector chargers to add but I don't know how many the Honda will tolerate. Best thing would be to get back home before a recharge is needed on all six. :(
