Greetings all - and THANK YOU in advance for any advice.

1973 23 footer. 455. Canyon Lands (pretty sure about that)...

As configured by a Previous Owner, it has three house batteries and one chassis battery. Two 12V Group 24 batteries in parallel back by the Onan, and one house battery up next to the chassis battery (passenger side). The batteries up front are clearly connected to the booster. I assume that the two rear batteries are wired in via connection to the 12V distribution panel in the electrical compartment. All have cut off switches. There's a single combiner between the two up-front batteries.

Two topics : one house battery fried and can I wire some 6V batteries into this configuration.

A battery fried. One of the two back by the Onan. Maybe both actually - but one was seriously hot. Sticker says ship date of 9/06. I knew they were old and needed replacement... But - the coach spent today plugged in (first time for quite a while) and when I went to work on it in the afternoon it stunk like crazy. I thought it was my black tank - but thanks to the recent thread about failed batteries stinking - I discovered that it was a battery. So... should I be worried about my Progressive Dynamics 9260 cooking it or was it doomed anyway. And how can i verify that my PD9260 is working properly ??

Replacement Batteries. Can I wire in two 6V batteries (in series of course) back by the Onan or will this confuse the other 12V battery, confuse the booster, or confuse the PD9260 ??

Comments appreciated and additional questions welcomed.
