I don't think it's worth your trouble.  A .5 amp load for a few seconds on 
that size of battery is not going to tell you much.  Given that all of the 
batteries have been charged about equally and been sitting about the same 
length of time, I'd base my decision on equal no-load voltage and be pretty 
confident in it.
