(ET) batterys in my I-5

[D Howell <dervatl yahoo com>]

The initial results are back on my battery pack.  As
you may recall, I had a post a few days ago regarding
the Trojans in my I-5 having been sitting for the past
year in a state of discharge.  After about 16 hours of
charging with my golf cart charger (which has an
automatically controlled smart circuit board)it
finally cut off.  The pack voltage was good after
sitting 24 hours (about 40 volts I believe).  I have
one of those cheap cell testers with four floating
balls (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).  I tested each cell in
all the batteries.  All of them floated 3 balls (75%)
or more.  About 6 cells out the the 6 batteries
floated all four balls.  If I assume an average of
75%, is this enough to give me very much run time? 
Since a battery should never be run down below 50%, it
would make sense that I have about one-half capacity
of new batterys.  Is this a valid conclusion?
