Ok so what about a 6 in series with another 6 that has lower capacity?
A guy in our campground has this with six-year old 6s that came with his new- to- him trailer. One has three cells just in the green and the other has the middle cell in the green and the outer two are in the red. (when "full"--I have helped him with the charging, Vector and solar both)
The pair still acts "normally" for voltages, discharging and recharging. He can even use his microwave and toaster, drawing over 100 amps for a few minutes with no problems seen.
His plan is to keep using the pair until something bad happens, then get new batteries. However, I am surprised the combo works so well as it does.
Anything in that applicable to the three-6s combo?
