Sounds reasonable.

So really all that matters is a high enough voltage to break down the=20
insulation forming and then limit current. Connect the battery to a=20
"Cattle Fencer" should work as well as anything else (they are like car=20
ignition   or Flash gun).

Certainly  I've seen Gel cells go very high impedance and yet still=20
charge very slowly and still supply volts at very low current only.
