New batteries before trip low volts

Looking for help to analyze new batteries after 4500 mile trip !!

Put in new house batteries traveled to Florida and came back end of March.

Put into storage mode (shut off power to house)

Parked the unit at return and voltage was at 13.9 to 14.1 volts .

Over weekend went to check on moisture and the voltage meeter was beeping and displayed yellow. Voltage was down to 10.6

Had to start engine to start generator. Ran generator for one hour and was able to increase the display to show 13.2 to 13.4 V.

I may have a leak somewhere? New batteries worked well all the trip and could run off them for 12 to 14 hours before generator started to recharge. I believe it kicks on at 12.1V. I Have a residential fridge, watched tv and led lights. So when boondocking all was good.

I have 3 , 105ah for a total of 315ah so had plenty during travel but now a bit concerned as they sat for only 5 or 6 weeks before I returned.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks
