Best lead acid batteries available are not going to be able to recharge from 80% to 100% in less than 3.5 hours, whether 6s or 12's
12v flooded in my experience require way longer at higher voltages to attain maximum specific gravity and without achieving this weekly, they tank in performance quickly and then take even higher voltaegs applied longer to restore some fraction of that capacity.
6's will not have the same voltage retention under high loads, this is true.
Rebranded Batteries from 6 years earlier, are not made by the same outfit today and if they are, they've figured out how much more profit they can squeeze but cutting quality as much as they can until the warranty claims eat into that max profit/maximum executive bonus.
Internet rumor via automotive forums says Interstate moved a lot of their batteries to Exide as their supplier, and many are quickly failing.
