Mainey and Peter,
We all know that V=IR and you don't parallel dissimilar batteries. But neither of you have answered the original question: "why is the battery boiling".
A battery will only boil if either:
#1 The charging voltage is excessively high or
#2 A cell is shorted, so the full charging voltage is going to 5 cells instead of 6.
Maybe the charger is stuck on Equalisation, and is delivering 15+Volts??? Need to get a multimeter to find out whats going on.
If Kathy just charged the single deep cycle battery from the charger, I'm sure it would still boil.
