Yes, you should remove the bad batteries because if left in the array their presence will weaken the good ones.
What do you use at night that creates such a high demand? If you could do your high energy work during the day when solar is working for you that would be ideal. The 5 batteries may not last much longer in any case if they are heavily taxed on an even greater basis now with less storage capacity.
Regarding the warranty, I'm afraid you will need to go straight to the manufacturer source for relief. At least that's my experience with inverter and charge controller issues purchased locally from Ultimate Off grid solar. Batteries could be different since they're not something that's easily shipped. Check with your installer.
