I've had my two 206Ah batteries in storage for about 4 months at 47%. Once a month, I would charge somewhere up to 90% and then drain them down to a little under 50% using a 55 Amp load. Today, I charged them to 100% at 14.6V and just ran my RV lights off of them for about 30 minutes. The lights drew only 3.2A and 41.54 Watts. Battery still had 99.3% of power based off of my SmartShunts reading but voltage of the parallel batteries is already down to 13.4V. Does this seem right? I've never seen the battery get to that low of voltage and still have 99% of the batteries capacity remaining. I would have expected it to get down to about 90% capacity before hitting that voltage. I'm going to continue running a small load for another day or two to see what happens. Has me concerned as to what a larger load would do to the batteries voltage. Is this typical or an indication of a faulty cell?
After an hour of use its even lower now.

Edit: 1 hour 20 minutes in, voltage is down to 13.3V 99.1%
2 hours in, voltage is down to 13.25V 98.3%
