Are the batteries packed tight with no ventilation and under a hiugh
charge rate?
They should not be over 115 to 120 in most any case, and lower is always better.
A c/20 is a high rate and the batteries will hold their heat for a
while, lead heats and cools slowly.
What is the water usage, it should be high.

If it is all the batteries the bank is being over charged.

Just another wrenches opinion,
