What kind of Batteries do you have? sounds like you are have and are considering Flooded Lead Acid so here is a suggestion.
1) Check the Fluid Level and if low fill only to the ring with Distilled Water.
2) Bring them up to charge slowly, If you have a Power Inverter/Charger you should be able to use a lower setting.
3) Use a simple Load Tester to check the battery condition ***Be careful to let the Batteries sit for a little while to stop venting before you connect/disconnect any thing or even slide the batteries out. These are available from Harbor Freight for less than $20.00; http://www.harborfreight.com/100-amp-612...69888.html
If the Batteries did not test you could try the Equalizing Setting on the Power Inverter but not sure I would worry about it with Starting Batteries. If you have a Detroit Diesel I would spend the extra couple of bucks for the Higher Cranking Amps, I did! I am using Napa size 8D.
