Are they starting to experience some hot temps? I like the line "batteries are killed in the winter, but they die in the summer".

Also just a thought on your previous post: with flooded batteries at least (not sure if the SLA's are the same), there's an optimal depth of discharge to number of cycles ratio. You've mentioned you're "getting more use out of the pack". Something to think about.
