The charger is an AutoMeter Professional BusPro-600S. 6 station, 5 amp per station smart charger.

The 6 in question probably had 40 or so charge cycles, tops, on them.

The charger had one station in question which had been charging slightly warm since Atlanta 07. About a month and a half ago we noticed that it was charging extremely hot, saw one very swelled battery, and 5 more that had minor swelling.

We immediately discontinued use of the banked charger and went back to the vintage kit chargers (Xenotronix HPX-60) and have not noticed anymore issues.
