Default battery install question

I have my new batteries finally. I checked the individual voltage and found the following:

4 @ 8.3v
1 @ 8.4v
1 @ 8.5v

Should I worry about the differential or just drop these guys in and charge the whole pack? More information?

They are new Trojan 8V Ranger 160's

Install, charge then check...... Point one either way is not huge but it amounts to 10 %

I can't help with the OP question, but I can help with teecro's math.

8.3 to 8.4 is a 1.1976% difference
8.3 to 8.5 is a 2.381% difference
8.4 to 8.5 is a 1.1834% difference.

May have meant 10% of charge , either way you should break them in to get the most, I just put 6 T-875's in and am on about the fifth charge . I got those files from stickies and reading in the CC section,...

Picture of new tray. Can I also put down some plexiglass to protect batteries from off road debris?
