1. nice video ,have you ever thought about putting a capacitor after your bank at the inverter ? i see people do it on youtube and they say it helps with the bigger draws.ive never tried it im thinking about it though
2. Have you ever done an equalization on your batteries? That may bring back the bad cell to life. 4 years is pretty good since you are running fully off grid.
3. That's not the way to test a battery. You are testing the electrolyte only. And that must be done after desulphating. It's the lead plates that need to be tested. Do a load test.
4. have a look at nickel iron batteries. at least one set is known to power an electric car for over 100 years
5. When you removed the 2 batteries from that bank the last time, wasn't one of them still good? Or were both batteries defective:? If the one is still good, you would still have 4 good 6v batteries to work with
