Yup.

After reading this topic it has occured to me that perhaps you should scrap the original plan.
Replace the batteries with a fuel cell. This will solve any water shortage problems you may have as fresh water is a byproduct of the process. If you also replace the copper conductors with super conducting ceramics you will save much in resistive losses. Also since the superconductive material requires liquid nitrogen to operate you will be able to tap into that circuit to cool the inside of the tear, eliminating the need for air conditioning.
You will have all the power you need from one fuel cell so there will be no need for paralell circuits thus isolation will be of no concern. Sure this may be a few thousand dollars more expensive, but, hey you will have all the power, water and cooling you need and you will not be taxing those poor batteries to their slow agonizing death.

Could you charge them both up and measure the voltage of each battery after resting for 24 hours and then measure after sitting for a week untouched? then repeat the process but with both batteries paralleled together?
I think this would prove whos theory is correct (and the first test would also show if one battery is morn worn out than the other)
you think this thread is good over here in Aus threads like these on some forums can go on for 15 pages and get quite
