You advice wanted!
Hi bennelson,
For this situation you want a "carbon pile" battery load tester. Its a big variable resistor with mammoth power dissipation.

New from $100 to about $1000, used, maybe ebay?
But you won't use it as intended. Use the carbon load as a way to reduce the current going into the dead batteries. You can probably figure out how to make it work for you.
