Can i have different sized batterys in parallel : r/batteries
As far as i have read in technical papers and seen live tested, two different size batteries will simply just auto level the load and charge between them, much like two different water reservoir connected to the same pipe will auto level even if one is 500% larger.

I don''t think there would be an issue. If you have the batteries connected in parallel, they would be at the same voltage. Because they would have different. BMS, one would cut off before the other but that should be fine. The other would then continue charging (at a higher current) until it also cuts out.

Running two different brand lipos in parallel?
No, if the packs of different capacities have the same C rating, the current draw from each pack will be in proportion with its capacity of the paralleled pack. e.g. - Draw 60A from a 1000mAh pack in parallel with a 5000mAh pack and the 1000mAh pack will deliver ~10 amps and the 5000mAh pack will deliver ~50 amps.

How can different batteries have the same voltage but deliver
I thought that Ohm''s law, V = IR, meant that batteries with the same voltage, introduced into the same circuit (with the same resistance), should push the same current. My first assumption was that the internal resistance of the batteries is different, but looking for answers online has led me to capacitance, q, and calculus.

View more6 FAQs about [Can different batteries be connected at the same time]
What happens if you connect multiple batteries in parallel?
However, if you connect batteries with different voltages in parallel, they will try to equalize their voltages and this can damage them. If you connect multiple batteries in parallel, the overall voltage of the system will remain the same, but the capacity will increase. This is because each battery adds its own amp-hour (Ah) rating to the total.
Should batteries be connected in series or parallel?
In general, it is best to connect batteries in series because this increases the voltage while keeping the current the same. However, there are some advantages to connecting batteries in parallel. For example, if you want to increase the current without changing the voltage, then connecting batteries in parallel is the way to go.
Can a battery be connected in series?
Connecting batteries in series is only practical if the batteries are very similar. So if you know each of your pair of serial batteries (for instance the 2x 12V 55Ah) have the same capacity, you can do that. You might want to measure the available capacity of the batteries. You also must balance the loading process!
Can you connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel?
If you have two 12 volt batteries and want to connect them in parallel, there are a few things you need to know. First, connecting batteries in parallel will not increase the voltage. The voltage will remain at 12 volts. However, connecting batteries in parallel will increase the amperage or amp hours.
What happens if you put a different battery in a series?
Putting different capacity batteries is series will lead to disaster because the lower capacity battery will charge up faster and become grossly overcharged, causing it to vent and release gasses that cannot be replaced - and perhaps even explode! Batteries lose performance and may go out of balance as they age.
Should I combine a new battery with a random battery?
Therefore for best performance you should only combine batteries which have the same age and usage, preferably new batteries bought at the same time. Connecting random batteries together will probably give poor results, as the older weaker ones will not provide the expected capacity.
