About the only thing that would result in any of my batteries getting hot like that in a short amount of time would be a shorted internal cell in the battery that is hot to touch..
If I pulled it from the loop then in my case of all parallel connections for 12VDC batteries I would find that one battery would not charge above 12.2-4VDC. After demanding many AMPS of DC Current trying to overcome this situation the battery would start getting hotter and hotter... It would also be the one that is showing fluids being boiled out of it.
Haven't played with any dual 6VDC batteries yet but I imagine the same thing will apply...
In my case again if I have one of my 12VDC batteries REVERSED CONNECTED it would immediately blow some fuses which you have not reported.
Here again I have not played with two 6VDC batteries in series yet producing a 12VDC source. I guess if you had one of those 6VDC batteries reversed connected then you probably only see 6VDC coming from the dual 6VDC connection. It may even be you see only ZERO VDC coming from the dual 6VDC connection.
Will be interesting what you find out with your dual 6VDC connections...
