In theory it is OK to connect them in parallel with two conditions: Each battery must be in a state where it can be voltage charged. This is fine for lead acid batteries unless they are very run down. Very discharged lead-acid batteries have to be charged with fixed current until they get to a minimum voltage, then they can be voltage charged.
Each battery must be in a state where it can be voltage charged. This is fine for lead acid batteries unless they are very run down. Very discharged lead-acid batteries have to be charged with fixed current until they get to a minimum voltage, then they can be voltage charged. The power supply is capable of maintaining the fixed float voltage.
However, the voltage of each battery remains the same. Here’s what you need to know about connecting batteries in parallel: When you connect batteries in parallel, you connect the positive terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of the other battery and the negative terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other battery.
Very discharged lead-acid batteries have to be charged with fixed current until they get to a minimum voltage, then they can be voltage charged. The power supply is capable of maintaining the fixed float voltage. In practise, I think it's a good idea to put at least a diode in series with each battery just because stuff happens.
Connecting 12V batteries in series will increase the voltage of the battery bank while keeping the amp-hour capacity the same. Connecting 12V batteries in parallel will increase the amp-hour capacity of the battery bank while keeping the voltage the same.
In actual practice, people put lead acid batteries in parallel and cycle them that way frequently. Just look at RV's and boats and off-grid installations. A fuse for each battery would not be a bad idea. If you are charging them all anyway then what does it matter if one discharges into another?
