MEX meant that your bad batteries would prey on your good one's. That's why he saying not to connect them together. I think if your T1275's were new they would be ok to connect together while camping. There is interaction between them especially when they're on float. I saw this for myself recently when I found the bad wiring connection and one of the 6V wasn't getting fully charged. One battery was at baseline, two were above baseline and the not fully charged one was showing just that. Fixing the bad wire didn't allow a full charge on that low battery either with them all connected together (believe me I wasted a week on trying to do just that). I had to separate them all and charge that 6V individually. OT, it seems that topping them off (finish charging) individually is a pretty fast process.
