I have a Stepsaver cart, it's been setting for a couple years. It has 4- 6 volt batteries, I had taken the batteries out an cleaned them up then tried to charge them one at a time with a car type charger set at 6 volt.
It started to charge at about 15 amp, the longer it charged the higher the amps. after about 2-3 hrs. it was charging about 40 amps and the charger was kicking on an off (over loading the charger). The battery is reading 5.8 volts.
Any battery that I have charged, the amps dropoff as the battery charges, not go up.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
