it was hooked up to different batteries. If there was a bad cell would the battery still test at 12.8 volts on teh multimeter?

I have inline circuit breakers on each positive battery cable. They appear to be working right, has power on the down current side of the breaker. Nothing changed in the wiring other than taking the old batteries out and installing the new ones. Wires were reconnected in the same way, nothing was done at the plug etc.

The only reason I'm thinking this internal jumper deal maybe the culprit is that the plug was left in when the charger was hooked up early this spring before getting the new batteries. So I'm wondering if maybe something burned out in that jumper that is allowing 24+ volts to go through when there is no load on it, but then not allowing the power through once there is a load.
