The low water, the long periods sitting over the winter has probably allowed the batteries to sulfate a bit more than they normally have before. Give it a few back-to-back charge cycles to see if you can regain the bit of capacity you seem to have lost. As kernal mentioned those digital bar graph meters are none too exact. Use a digital volt meter to see where you really are.
Keep in mind that as the batteries age they WILL lose some of their capacity. The trick is to try what you can to keep a much as you can for as long as you can.
