Batteries don't charge
Let the two house batteries get down to 3.92 volts. Yes, I got stupid, but on with the story. Serviced them but now they won't charge from converter. Voltage from converter is 13.45. Across battery...

One battery seems to be coming around.
The other one has one cell "smoking" pretty good at 20 amps. This one did have some exposed plates prior to refilling.
When I rejuvenated a few old batteries that came from my dad's rig and sat quite a while one came up after charging with a trickle for a few days-the second I charged at a high rate and then rested and then low and then rested and then I think I let it sit for a day or 2 and then trickled it until it finally came back up-all said and done one of the batteries recovered pretty good-the other would hold 12.5 or so but not much more. As mentioned above both leaked some because I put too much water in to start.
I'd let your 'smoking' battery sit for a bit with no charger-and also suggest getting hold of a trickle charger and using that next.
