No, do not connect different capacity batteries in series, because after the lowest A-h capacity battery is discharged, it will be charged in reverse by the other batteries, quickly destroying that, and possibly outgassing dangerous hydrogen. You would also need to charge batteries individually, or the smaller batteries would be overcharged, again, releasing H2.

Learn MoreSealed lead acid batteries have been the battery of choice for long string, high voltage battery systems for many years, although lithium batteries can be configured in series, it requires attention to the BMS or PCM. Connecting a battery in parallel is when you connect two or more batteries together to increase the amp-hour capacity.
Batteries connected in parallel must have the same voltage rating and it is recommended to use batteries of equal capacity. Connect in series and parallel - You cannot connect each battery in both series and parallel at the same time but you can have sets of batteries connected in series where the sets are connected in parallel.
Please note: some Lithium batteries are not suitable to connect into series or parallel so please make sure you have checked that your battery is compatible before connecting them this way. A typical Lithium battery Most batteries can be connected to increase battery capacity and / or voltage in the following ways:
There is series-parallel connected batteries. Series-parallel connection is when you connect a string of batteries to increase both the voltage and capacity of the battery system. For example, you can connect six 6V 100Ah batteries together to give you a 12V 300Ah battery, this is achieved by configuring three strings of two batteries.
Batteries connected in series must have the same voltage and capacity ratings. Connect in parallel - Connecting two or more batteries together in parallel will increase the overall capacity. For example, if you connect two 12V 90Ah batteries in parallel, you will have a battery voltage of 12V and a capacity of 180Ah.
Connect the positive terminal of the first series battery pair to the positive terminal of the battery pair next to it. Continue until all of the series pairs are connected on the positive side.
