Ah, I see. That (somewhat overpriced IMnsHO) product would help some with regaining lost capacity on marginal batteries. You do only have one or two though while you seem to have loads of batteries. According to many of the sites I checked on DIY battery rejuvination the best results seem to be achieved by having one of these gizmos permanently attached to each and every battery... Not a commercial and thus somewhat expensive gizmo but one of the homebuilt variety which only draws power while the battery is being charged (either by being switchable or automatic). It should sit as close to the battery as feasible and be connected to it with some substantial wiring to keep it as effective as possible. Those things produce very short pulses which are easily lost in high-impedance (longer and/or thinner) cables. If you have an oscilloscope (or access to one) you can use it to see whether those pulses arrive at their destination or get lost on the way.

As I have not built one of these things yet I am really just making this up of course - the proof is in the pudding. Maybe I should stop typing and start building? That should be building a 'diesel'-powered Ural with sidecar of course as it is that which brought me to this forum in the first place...
