Thanks for the advice! I had unhooked the whole bank so it would cool down, and of course lost my 12 volt systems. Glad to have gotten your reply about leaving the bad battery out. Fortunately, the main cables were long enough to bypass the bad battery. I cleaned the cables and posts while I was down there, and made sure the other batteries had enough water - a couple of them were pretty thirsty! Everything is up and running again. I cleaned off the battery that had been cooking, but may need to leave it on the rack a few days.
