The first one I recovered read 12.52 volts tonight after being off charge for about 48 hours.

The second one, that 8D battery is still only drawing about .5 amps after 24 hours. I need to get in there and check the waster / acid levels. My attempt today failed. So Tomorrow I'm going to build a support for the battery out of some scrap 2x4's and drag it 1/2 way out of there. I looked it up today and the 8D weighs 162 pounds.

You asked and I told you how it was done. I learned that from the guy that repaired our industrial batteries that ran lift trucks moving steel coils off of the rolling line in a steel mill where I worked s an electrician. The batteries were approximately 4 ft by 6 ft by 3 feet high. We lifted them off of the lift trucks with an overhead crane at the end of every shift and replaced them with recharged ones. It was a 20 shift a week operation and one electrician worked every shift doing nothing but tending and recharging batteries.
