Just to let folks know where we are at with this currently. Matt Jones posted a schematic on the EF thread which included a pulsed DC motor. We're discovering that pulsing the motor gives some good results. I have also wanted to try a couple different things that I will share here in hopes that some others give it a shot also, possibly sooner than I can get around to it, since it may take me a few days. Anyway, put a resistor between battery # 3 and the motor (This is assuming that the charging voltage is coming from battery #1 through the motor to the bad battery) This will slow down the charging of battery # 3. At the same time, connect a load to the motor side of that resistor and the negative of battery # 3. This gives a "no resistor" path to the current to bypass battery # 3, while still leaving battery # 3 in the circuit to cause the current to flow in the first place. I have no idea if it will work. If it doesn't, I will try this same idea on the opposite side of battery # 3.
