There seems to be a little tension here, so let me try and divert the discussion back to the original topic. We successfullly re-balanced our 4 batteries and reintroduced them to our system. Unfortunately battery #3 (as we now fondly call the failing battery) continues to fail to keep in pace...

Thank you so much for all the helpful advice! We removed all 4 batteries from service and charged them all to ensure they each have the same level of charge.
