Same logic on charging.
Ideally connect x batteries in parallel - connect the positive load to the far right battery - and the negative load to the far left battery - everything will stay balanced.
In your case though does sound like something more serious is wrong... it shouldn't get to the point of cooking batteries.

Ditto @ proper parallel setup. And insure batteries, when purchased are the same age.
