As per several requests...
And knowing that it is important to keep the discussion going about battery safety I am opening up a new thread for a continuous chat about batteries. Post your theories, experiments and questions....teach & learn. I will be bringing an ongoing battery discussion into this thread from another thread....and possibly others. This is simply an attempt to separate information so it is more easily found for those who may or may not be looking for it.
Here are links to tons and tons of battery information. If you feel there are more links that I need to add...just shoot me a pm with the link and I'll add it.

I'm not doubting your observation, but there's no rational explanation for such a behavior providing the batteries were charged to the same voltage. The current drawn thru both batteries connected in series is exactly the same. If batteries were connected in parallel, it could happen that one battery will drain sooner than the other.
You may possibly have one battery that was used more often or is older and that battery happens to be placed at the top of the stack.

UNSURE's LAW: Cover your bases and have all things in house before the REO arrives!
Btw I noticed its the stacked battery nearest the positive connector that drains first/most.
