Perhaps Capacity is Not King
I don't want to derail the current "charging AGM batteries" thread more than I already have. During the course of that thread I was shopping for AGM batteries, trying to determine which ones could ...

I feel it's OK to parallel different capacity 12s together.
I still don't understand how. When fully charged, they should both find themselves at similar voltages, though, with no load, the older batteries may drop before the 6s.
However, BFL plans to tie them together and USE them.
I suppose, perhaps, if the used batteries are really beat...
Now when you say, "prey;" do you mean they will bring physical harm? Or are we just talking Ah robbery? If the latter, it seems BFL, with his meters, could run an experiment at home. Unless BFL is averse to running experiments. :B
Hello???
BFL, I'm looking in your direction! Time for another test... now of this supposed "fact" from Mex... all in the name of... SCIENCE!!!
