[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 482381, member: 26281"] You can connect batteries in parallel and I would not rewire. The next time you replace batteries, I would try to match them. Here is a link that discusses mixing batteries. https://batteryguy.com/kb/knowledge-base/connecting-batteries-in-parallel/ The same goes for charging, one battery will charge more/less than the other. The meter you have appears to be a volt meter, uses the voltage to determine capacity. For example, my inexpensive volt meter in my boat shows 13vdc, my multimeter 12.6. Although theses gauges are a good source of information if they are not accurate, determining capacity is difficult. [/QUOTE]
