The batteries were fully charged. Unfortunately these are sealed lead
acid and can't be tested with a hygrometer. The batteries are 1.5
years old and have never been equalized and have gone through 2
cruising seasons.

I'm guessing that you had at least one sulfated cell that broke-free during
your aborted equalization, and that now the charger is able to bring the
whole battery up to full charge. I'd watch the temperature, but let it do
it's thing unless it starts to boil.
