Maybe you'd care to offer some input on this,  then?
I've acquired,  recently,  about a dozen or so gel batteries,  eight of them 
33 AH units and the other four 10 AH units.  Mostly I've been busy dumping 
some charge into them...
I'm told that the reason they were being disposed of is that they sat on the 
shelf for too long.  With only one exception,  the seem to be showing me good 
voltage,  though.
The part that bothers me about it is the idea of connecting all of these in 
parallel,  I keep thinking that there ought to be a better way.  Some sort of 
a circuit to sense voltage and charge them independently,  perhaps,  or 
something to switch out a unit that shows a *really* low voltage (like the 
one here that's down to around 10v or so,  may be a shorted cell),  something 
like that.
I've been idly thinking about how I might set such a thing up,  but haven't 
arrived at anything yet.  Care to comment?
