What's the specific gravity of the cells on both batteries? No clue
A lot of what you are asking about is above my pay grade.
Both batteries are sealed.
How do you do a gravity test on a sealed battery?
I really don't have test equipment to do a load test.
I use to go to the Sears automotive store to do a load test but they closed up.

I might be charging junk batteries. But the charger I am using says it can detect a sulfated battery.
