Multiple Batteries in Parallel
I have several regular 12v batteries that are different sizes. Can I safely hook them up in parallel without damaging any of them?

What Boon Docker quotes from the battery experts is correct. Follow his advice, it is based on fact.
Well well, here we have another battery expert to back up the other supposedly battery expert,....that never even gave a link to its source.
Before you start giving expert advice, why don't you just do it first before you tell others whats right ! If you had any experience doing it, you would know that paralleling different capacity battery works just fine. But you would need a volt meter,.....just so you know !
Each battery has a built in regulator,.....its called voltage, or SOC, which is what keeps its SOC the same as any other batteries that are paralleled to it, whether charging or discharging. So, just believe it,..... until you prove differently thru EXPERIENCE, being as your fact is wrong !
