I would check the cross over positive cable from the passenger to the drivers side. Any loose connection and you will boil over the passenger side battery. My advice would be to clean your connections on both batteries.

X2 - battery charge is monitored on 1 side & delivered on the other - loose connection on the crossover cable will do exactly that... cable itself is beefy enough to usually be fine.

Feel your cables... if they are very hard, they are corroded inside.
