battery nightmares

thanks J,
I was wondering if the battery was toast before, and that is why the entire bank was dead after only three months. I will disconnect the last 2 batteries and work with the other 4 to see if that helps. The charger seemed to fluctuate between 14.2 and 14.8 volts. maybe the battery temperature had something to do with its being that high? The load comes off the other end of the bank, so maybe those batteries delt with the voltage better?

The charger is a Heart Inverter and seems to be state of the art.
If the entire system is dead in two weeks when I go back, maybe the one is taking all the others down?
You sound pretty knowlegeable, thanks for your insight!
Paul
