An update....
I took both T105's out of the RV this morning. One is on the Shumacher 6V 6A charger, the other on the NOCO Genius.

SG reading is 1275 on all cells, so we seem to be making progress....cautiously optimistic so far.
I haven't taken any readings on the NOCO battery as it has a maximum 2A charge rate and is currently in "maintaining mode" with the green LED pulsing.
I will probably leave that one until this evening at the earliest.
As I overcome one problem, I start hypothesising about others....maybe I had "enough power" last year because the batteries were so new and we definitely had more sunny days than this year...it has been a dismal Spring and unimpressive Summer so far, in terms of hours of sunshine.
