I had nothing else on at the time and yes they are probably close to charged. The puzzling thing was that I turned on the frig. also and I got -4A so I was assuming 4A from Truck, 4A from TM bats. for approx. 8A total. I'm going to redo the test though as I was futzing around with the meter.

Hopefully I screwed something up when I did the test.
