Get rid of those batteries now!...there is no switch. the charger is designed to charge deep cell batteries only. the lead cell batteries are not designed to be wired together like the deep cell batteries. The previous owner must have been in over his head to try and save money by doing that. Good luck

If your saying he installed regular lead acid batteries, or better, deep cycle lead acid batteries rather than gell cells, that in and of itself is not the end of the world. A gell cell peek charging voltages are a bit lower than what is normally used on a lead acid battery. It will take you longer to charge your lead acid batteries. You will need to add water which could be a hassle. You need to figure out what is causing that smell etc.
