What Voltage do you prefer to float your flooded bank at when using it for standby use (see post for details)?

I can't say for standby use, my bank gets cycled at least once a week, if not more frequent than that
2.35V or higher / cell (14.1 / 28.2 / 56.4 for 12 / 24 / 48V nominal strings respectively)
2.30V / cell (13.8 / 27.6 / 55.2V)
2.25V / cell (13.5 / 27.0 / 54.0V)
2.20V / cell (13.2 / 26.4 / 52.8V)
2.15V or lower / cell (12.9 / 25.8 / 51.6V)
Some other value in between those listed here (please elaborate in a reply)
I don't know what "floating" is

I can't even decide who I am replying to, but here goes:

These LOOK like 7 or 7.2AH glued together (for a UPC PRO-1500), but they are marked 9.0AH.
These replacements were purchased from 'the' UPS manufacturer for about $125 with S&H.
The repacements I sent them to cost about $38 a pair, though they were not 'glued together'.
If the computer geeks want them glued together, they can do it themselves.
