I proceeded to open the hood to find one of the batteries extremely hot and boiling. The two batteries were factory installed and were never changed within those five years. Luckily it did not explode and I replaced both the batteries.
So if you wish to think i have had good luck, then we all have that same luck since none of our batteries have exploded.
Trust me when I tell you I take extremely good care of everything I own be at the car truck van camper mower heavy equipment whatever it matters to be.
4 stage converter Chargers in these RV are pretty good with keeping the battery correctly and fully charged.

Based on your response i have to ask then... If you are aware of this then why would you intentionally config your batteries knowing the safety ramifications of series/parallel complications and major potential safety compromises with mixed batteries in this fashion? It is like you are asking for for trouble...
