I disconnected all of the wiring, and checked each cell with a hydrometer...all tested fine. Did a load test on each battery....all tested OK. Charged each battery with a charger that has a desulfation cycle. Cleaned all the terminals and hooked everything back up.

Maybe next Black Friday will be my time for Lithium. No reason to spend that money now.
That's a good idea especially with the intro of sodium ion batteries. Lithium prices will plummet to compete with SI batteries.
