Richard,
You're correct in your interpretation, I used the word coach battery in reference to house batteries and not meaning the cranking batteries. The P.O. had some issues with the house battery bank and had the selling dealership change out a couple of the batteries with new ones. There now is an imbalance between the new and old batteries. That would explain a voltage issue with the charger thinking there is a bad cell or two in the mix. If it quits raining tomorrow I will check the voltages of each battery.
Russ,
When the batteries where gassing In float I didn't catch what the float voltage was at that time I will pay attention the next time around. This looks like a good time to pick out two of the best and put them on "cranking duty" and pick up some deep cycle batteries for the house bank.
