dump charging



This sounds interesting and I'd like to try it.

Let's see if I understand correctly.

The mobile battery pack to be charged is 2 33amp/hour AGMs in series.
Could the charging pack be something like 2 large automotive (group 24 or 31) 
starting batteries in series. 

Connect to mobile pack in parallel using 0 guage cables and control with a big
contacter. 200 amp ammeter and shunt plus a voltmeter.

Close the contacter and wait for the current to taper off??? Is it that
simple? How close to full charge can this get me? How long will it take?
