Perfectly fine.  The 5AH are really over rated 12/4s  and the 9AHs are
really over rated 12/7s.  If you want the best battery life go with Yuasa
12/7s.  Heck the 3200 has room in the cabinet for two of them in parallel if
you don't make a mess of the wiring.  If they go very low it will just take
a lot longer to charge them back up as you asked.  You can also take them
out and trickle charge them with a automatic car charger at up to 2 amps (4
hours apx with a 12/7).  It will take 14-20 hours to recharge a very
discharged 12/7, and one that is totally flat may not come back.
