I have the same set up -- 4 wires going to my 2 batteries set up in sequence -- make sure to follow each positive/negative pair to ensure that the pos/neg pairing are hooked up to each battery properly (i.e., make sure positive #1 and negative #1 is going to one battery and positive #2/negative #2 is going to the other). In other words, make sure that positive #1 and negative #2 are not hooked up to one battery and positive #2 and negative #1 to the other. I also have a 4 pronger -- it should have 3 holes: 1 negative and 2 positive (1 for 12v and 1 for 24V). The 2 positive holes should be marked 12 and 24 (hard to see, but they are marked) -- make sure the red power cord is plugged into the right hole (24V). If you are sure that all of this is set up, there may be a problem with the new plug you bought and you might return it for another new one.

Hope this helps -- I know how frustrating this can be!!!
