Sure sounds like constant overcharging. What is the size of the battery bank
what is the charge rate and what are the setpoints for Absorb, Absorb Time,
Float and EQ (you should also confirm these with a trusted VOM during a charge
cycle)? When batteries get too high on V, fast charging or excessive amps they
will get quit hot (well over 110F) and after about 115-120F the plates can
swell, deform and even structurally fail. Often when this happens they will
short out killing the cell or worse yet causing a fire. I would take this
situation very seriously and deal quickly.
Good luck!
