Just bought 2 new trolling batteries from wal-mart. Used them 1 time and just charged them back up. One was still holding good charge, however the other was down to like 12%. Is this normal on a 24 volt system? Any help is appreciated.

How are you charging them?  each separate??? What you probably need to do is take each one out and charge them that way,, reason is you have a jumper wire on the 24v and while the one battery may be showing a good charge,, it may be in fact your bad battery,,,. Take them both out and charge each one separate and see which one holds the charge. |

I've seen worst things. Check the water level inside the battery...

Assuming you have a multiple battery maintainer, you may want to change the charge leads, and see if one bank of the charging system is failing.
