When I had batteries reverse polarity they quickly turned around but
never had their capacity after.
2nd, that is a clear indication of a DC drain that can kept draining all
the way to zero. The strongest batteries keep giving voltage, while
weaker batteries give all they have and become resistors. Its really a
horrible situation that I have since avoided with LVDs, etc.

Update on my investigation:
I visited the customer's house yesterday to set up a pulse charger.
Much to my surprise the three batteries that originally registered
negative voltage are now reading positive. Does this make sense - are
batteries able to shift between negative and positive voltages at such
a low charge level?
I do not see any evidence of distorted cases.

I second tump.
Most likely a bad /cell battery took out the system.
As these are VRLA batteries, I'm curious do,the cases look damaged
such as expanded or sunk in?
