Exploded battery - why?
This battery was wired in parallel to it's twin. Water level was last checked 60 days ago. This is in a 2014 Lance truck camper - I'm second owner and assume that this is the original equipment ...

Is this why a few members on here advise against batteries in parallel?
Yes maybe.
Anytime high current batteries are connected in parallel, some types of failures on one can have catastrophic results.
But the odds are fairly low.
The odds with series connections are even lower.
Look closer at the photo.:S
That is a 12 volt battery. Connecting two in series would be 24 volts. It must be connected in parallel to be 12 volt. I have never seen or heard of a TC that operates on a 24 volt system.
