Battery wiring diagram
I'm not an expert and don't claim to be one but looking at this picture makes me think something is very wrong here. I would love the resident electrical experts opinions

1. IF that picture is REAL, there is NO WAY the batteries had any charge in them
2. IF the batteries had any charge in them, the SPLIT second you connected the LONG cable to either the Neg or Pos post, you would have had a LARGE arc/spark and I doubt you could have proceeded to install the nut on the loose end as the HEAT build up would have burned you way before they caught on fire and melted the Posts and the cases of the batteries.
