In general those SG's are looking pretty good... nice work on the reconditioning! I don't have an answer for why the one cell in each batt' is up at 1.280. What temp were the batteries at when you checked them? Is your hydrometer temp compensated? I suggest that you continue using them and keep 'em charged. At this point only time will tell if you've done more harm than good.
Are the batteries 2 years old? Or have you been using them for 2 years since they came out of the golf car? Do you know the manufacture date?
I was going to say the exactly same thing! :D
If you get to the point that you're thinking "well, I've got nothing left to lose" and if you think that the problem is severe sulfation then a $5 box of Epsom salt might just buy you some additional life. It's a short term solution (no pun intended) though, so don't expect miracles.
