Thanks. The term 'leisure batteries' kicked off a search
that is leading to some www answers, like here:

    Stationary, Starter, Traction, and Leisure Batteries

> Lead Acid?

  These were of the "Stationary" type.
  I'm trying a quick 1/2 hour 'validation' charge (Test 1).
  If the battery balks (overheats or delivers next to nothing)
  it's tossed for the next one. Test 2 is a constant charge
  while monitoring the V increase every 1/2 hour.
  If it plateaus it is also tossed. I'm going on intuition though.
