Bill,

Examine both batteries closely for any bulging ... which can cause shorts in the adjacent cells! This can be caused by overcharging, so check your alternator/regulator output for too high output Voltage ... anything above 15 Volts is too high and causes boiling and overheating, and possible bulging/buckling/shorting of cells. And, shorted cells in batteries connected in parallel subject to oveercharging for an extended time is not out of the ordinary!
