You may have bad cells in one battery. the charger keeps pmping away because those cells say they aren't charged.
2 The settings, on the charger are too high and or is not switching to float when the charge is complete.
Start from scratch. Check the batteries specific gravities. Have the batteries tested on what was called carbon leak down for bad cells or the whole battery. Replace if neccessary.
lean the whole fess up. Hose out the compartment and get all of any residue out use soda and water for a final flush and let sit and flush again and dry really good. Clean or replace connectors and clamps. Get dialetric compound and some spray battery corrosion preventer and felt washers treat the washers connect the connectrs on clean posts or bolts and nuts cat with corossion preventer. Put diaelectric compound on all connections away from the batteries, after cleaning. Run the generator to charge the baatteries and when the gauge says 14.7 or whatever you manual says. That will take a long while. when the gauge say 24.7 or whatever the manual says you caan run the equalizer or desulfating setting with the doors open on the bay. Watch for too much heat or swelling. If the controller is working right it will shut off and go to float after however long. All the batteries should be equal and one won't discharge the others provide one of them is far gone. Did I leave any step out?
