If your AH counter does not take heat loss on recharging into account, then it will over-state the AHs going in and declare you are full when you aren't yet. You will have batteries that are undercharged and sulfating. (as you suspect yours are)
EG Trimetric has a default charging efficiency that is adjustable, but you have to play with that for several recharges to get it right on. So after a while the AH counter gets out of whack and needs to be reset. If you leave it on "auto-reset" and you have solar, it will be wrong by resetting itself every time it gets dark
No idea what the Magnum and Whizbang do about that. However, if you have never reset the AH counter for four years, then it could be reading anything by now.
