What size are the banks are are they series/paralleled across the
terminals? That can cause one or more cells to fail, generally starting on
the negative terminal. The set that failed on me was series/parallel
across the terminals, old school, and the
overheated and shorted
out, killing that string. It’s why I went to buss bars.
