The biggest comment I'll reiterate is keep them plugged into the charger as much as practical; keep them properly watered, with clean, dry and tight connections....

Yeah mostly my use will be running to the pool with the kids, school drop offs, grocery runs - all within 2-3 miles from the house...but some hills.

I just topped off a few cells last night with some distilled water after a full charge. then did some voltage measures and charged again...its now on it's rest.

My wonder is how long I'll be able to run on a single charge with the 4x12 setup considering the hills...time will tell I suppose.

Next up is to pull all the batteries as there's some corrosion on the tray and some bracing needed from what looks to be an overflow, 6" all sports lift and 22" Tires....

Only one way to find out; but generally expect least 10 to 15 miles.... But again I stress "when parked plug"

So after 12 hours of rest the 4x12v pack read 51.5v

That plus the uphill load readings in my previous post suggest the batteries are A-OK....right?

50.93 is a fully charged pack. So your batteries look good
