Thank you gurus for all your comments and advice. I have decided to go with AGM type batteries, not sure which brand yet. However, I am on vacation for two weeks and do not want to address the battery issue until I get home in my shop. I have two of my six house batteries that are bad, overheating. Would it be OK just to take them out of the loop  and run with just for batteries until I get home?

Sure can.  You might want to adjust your inverter settings to reflect less amp hours.  This will also raise the float voltage of the rest of your batteries by removing the batteries with the highest resistance (the warm ones).
