I would say that battery B did not get a full charge. It is not uncommon for battery A to lose a few fractions of a volt overnight, same thing will happen if you put a 1 amp load on it for a minute or so (such as a light bulb).
Are you charging both batteries at once with 2 chargers? This could cause problems, especially if the charger used neutral for a ground on negative terminal of the charger. It could cause another melt down of the 12 volt chargers.
I would recommend only charging one battery at a time, in case there would be a problem with the first charger preventing the second charger from properly grounding, unless you want to take time to disconnect the wire between battery A and B so that B is not grounded at 12 volts above the ground of battery A.
