Without knowing more about the system, at face value overcharging. or battery bank too small for the system.
Equalisation charge applied? Some banana dropped a spanner and shorted a bunch of terminals? Or installed and used in ambient temperatures that are too high.
They certainly got hot and bad things happened. It may have seemed sudden but has been happening for a while now. Checking a bank once a month for bulging and visual checks, as well at multimeter tests are a must in lead based systems.
Faults with Victron equipment are best discussed directly with your dealer - this can be formalised with this support request form.
