Gonski,
Yes, the two T-105s in series are a 12V bank. Treat it as a single 12V and ignore the connection between to two except when cleaning and maintaining the terminals, then clean those also.
If the T-105s went down, then you must have drain that is loading them even with the disconnect open. First you should find that and correct that problem.
That 3.5 amp charger you ordered will literally take a month to bring those T-105s back to full density. Go find and install a real good smart 3 or 4 stage converter charger like those from Progressive Dynamics or Iota.
Are there any connections to the bank directly? Very often lazy installer will do this because it is easier than doing the job the right way. Before the depression, I did work on big expensive boats and this was a very common problem.
