It sounds to me that you may have 1 or more bad cells in that battery. I'm no expert, but i suggest that you leave that battery to rest for a couple of days after a long slow charge and see if it still copes with a load test.
Assuming you're using them in parallel (connected for 12v), you could leave out the dubious battery. you may find that he remaining batteries work a lot better without it.
no offense, battery-recon UK, but I've yet to see any 'independent' proof of the effectiveness of the pulse desuphators. As chrisb says a long slow charge seems to be the most reliable way to bring a battery up to it's full charge.
