A note of caution: Use the 10 amp cycle sparingly.
AFAIK the higher flow will help to break through internal resistance but it can also warp the plates.
Maybe try 30min 2A and 5min 10A. or double those. Something like that.

I once had a battery boil over with acid going everywhere. Then I bought the landlord new carpet.
