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...

Another point of interest is that the combo of two 12v T-1275s and two 6v GC2-XHDs, have a voltage drop of about 0.7v when hitting them with a 100a draw, compared with the 1.0v drop when using four 6s.
PT is always on about 12v vs 6v for voltage drop, so this supports his story.
Well I'm sure you were aware when you wrote this that it's not just PT's story. It's a basic tenet in battery design having to do with plate thickness and such.
Good work, B! Sounds like a score.
Now I'm curious as to how these T-1275s handle with the full recharge. You moved away from 12s mainly due to all the effort it took to get that SG back to full after a trip with successive 50-90s. Does the word, "tipping..." open any old wounds? :)
Is there anything magical about these Trojans? Or do they act the same as the old JCs or whatever they were, in this regard?
