Thank you for your informative reply.
I have checked the wire between - and + and it was ONE heavy wire.
You are right, starter batteries were not gel type. I checked after reading your reply. So this means that captain wired completely two different batteries in series. One is gel type, deep cycle and 250 AH, the other is wet, starter, 182 AH.
Is it possible that batteries can burn? When I was making checks and measures on batteries, they were very hot.
