I was hooking up my battery system in parallel. I probably should have hooked up the ground wire first but I didn't. I hooked up all the positives in parallel and was just getting started on connecting all the negative terminals when one of the negative wires fell and connected with the positive terminal of the battery next to it. It sparked pretty good and managed to melt a portion of the terminal and the cable eye, and caused a little fire (which I put out quickly). It only sparked for a few seconds before I could grab it. Have I completely ruined my brand new batteries? And if so, all of them or just the two that connected?
I didn't blow a fuse or trip the GFCI is in the fifth wheel or at the outlet in my house.
Any info would be helpful.
