Reconditioning two 180 Ah truck batteries

There comes a point in your life, when you just need to admit to yourself, that you like big batteries. I dragged these home from a local trucking company. There were some newer batteries lying around there as well, but these seemed to have been pulled out of a truck much more recently, so I took the gamble and bought them for about twice scrap lead price.

I built a more precise 10 A current sink after shooting this video, which bins them at 74 Ah each, at a 7,4 hour rate, which is probably around 100 Ah at the 20 hour rate, which isn't too bad for 20 Euro worth of batteries.
