I should have said the battery bank in the OP is two 6v Exide 135s rated at 226AH new (now 6 years old) and two Trojan 1275s rated at 150 each when new but also six years old -first two in a golf car getting beat up) I have them in a sort of series parallel mash-up that works great.
New that would be total 526 but now est at 450 so 450/526 = 85.6% which is about what I got on my last capacity tests on these. They should be good for another year or two the way things are going so far.
I am impressed with these Exide 135s that have outlasted my Interstate GC2 XHDs (232AH) I had to toss at the six year point. Of course now Interstate has gone over to using Trojan T-105s as their new 6v at 225AH, so whole new ball game there. I just love my T-1275s, which seem to be impervious to all abuse. They are not much below what they were four years ago when I got them from the golf car place.
