Thanks for the info so far - and the video link
Starting/deep cycle AGM is not my choice for rv batteries. They are great in rough service vehicles etc. but 6v 230AH golf car batteries do fine for how we use our rv's.
I wheeled it in the garage on a gurney and hooked up the old school 10 amp charger I have - charged it for 8 hours at 14.3 volts - it was not drawing much amperage - 1.5 to 2. I checked for a cell that was warmer than the others but all the same.
Then I have access to someone who will load test it on a fancy pants load tester.
I'll report back after I have let it rest for a few hours, in case someone finds this info useful in future.
