Electrical Question About The Batteries

When I un-hook the negative lead off the main battery I still have juice to my truck. I have to un-hook both of them to completley kill the flow. Is this normal or do I have a short someplace causing this.

Perfectly normal unless you run the batteries in series.. but then stuff would be letting the smoke out if you did..

very hard to get the smoke back in
