If you connect two lead acid batteries together for loads only (somewhat difficult to achieve), the battery with the greater charge will try to charge the lower one. However, they will eventually stay equal but this will not last.
Please note: some Lithium batteries are not suitable to connect into series or parallel so please make sure you have checked that your battery is compatible before connecting them this way. A typical Lithium battery Most batteries can be connected to increase battery capacity and / or voltage in the following ways:
When connected in parallel the battery capacity will increase, the voltage will remain as noted for the one battery. For example, two 12V 100AH batteries connected in parallel will give a total of battery capacity of 200Ahr at 12V. Four 12v 100AH batteries will give a total battery capacity of 400AH at 12V please see Fig. 2.
Flow batteries and other chemistries. These are commonly available in 48V. Multiple batteries can connect in parallel without any issues. Each battery has its own battery management system. Together they will generate a total state of charge value for the whole battery bank. A GX monitoring device is needed in the system.
Most of the current will therefore travel through the bottom battery. And only a small amount of current will travel through the top battery. The correct way of connecting multiple batteries in parallel is to ensure that the total path of the current in and out of each battery is equal.
When batteries are connected in series, the voltage increases. When batteries are connected in parallel, the capacity increases. When batteries are connected in series/parallel, both the voltage and the capacity increase. Single battery. Two batteries in series. Two batteries in parallel. Four batteries in series/parallel. Four batteries in series.

Deep cycle lead-acid batteries are nothing more than regular lead-acid batteries... with more lead in them. They last longer, because there is more stuff inside to be consumed. And these are chemical reaction batteries - they are destroyed …
Note, when you parallel batteries, you should have a fuse/breaker per string to prevent a short on one battery string from being feed by the other string--this does add wiring/costs to parallel …
In this information blog we will try and help you understand how to connect a battery bank together (i.e., more than one battery connected to another) in parallel or series, as both have very different outcomes regarding the voltage …
Lead acid batteries are strings of 2 volt cells connected in series, commonly 2, 3, 4 or 6 cells per battery. Strings of lead acid batteries, up to 48 volts and higher, may be charged in series ...

Battery Banks: Wiring Batteries in Parallel and Series Using a bank of batteries provides an increase in voltage when they are wired together in a series. Connecting them in parallel …
Lead-acid batteries that uses recycled lead or tombstone welds to connect cells may not accept or deliver current at the same rate as lead-acid batteries that use 99.99% pure virgin lead or …
The correct way of connecting multiple batteries in parallel is to ensure that the total path of the current in and out of each battery is equal. There are four ways to correctly wire a parallel …
There are two ways to wire batteries together, parallel and series. The illustration below show how these wiring variations can produce different voltage and amp hour outputs. …
Nominal Voltage Discrepancy: Lead acid batteries typically have a nominal voltage of about 2.1 volts per cell (12.6 volts for a 6-cell battery when fully charged), whereas …
Re: Adding a new lead acid battery in parallel to an old one? to make it clear, you can parallel a new battery with your old one, but as soon as you do the new battery will take on the same …
Deep cycle lead-acid batteries are nothing more than regular lead-acid batteries... with more lead in them. They last longer, because there is more stuff inside to be consumed. And these are …
Connecting multiple lithium batteries in parallel can be a smart way to increase capacity and achieve longer-lasting power sources. However, doing this improperly can result …
