In theory it is OK to connect them in parallel with two conditions: Each battery must be in a state where it can be voltage charged. This is fine for lead acid batteries unless they are very run down. Very discharged lead-acid batteries have to be charged with fixed current until they get to a minimum voltage, then they can be voltage charged.
Connecting batteries in Parallel is normally performed to increases capacity. This can be done by connecting the positive terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Likewise, the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery.
Each battery must be in a state where it can be voltage charged. This is fine for lead acid batteries unless they are very run down. Very discharged lead-acid batteries have to be charged with fixed current until they get to a minimum voltage, then they can be voltage charged. The power supply is capable of maintaining the fixed float voltage.
With a parallel battery connection the capacity will increase, however the battery voltage will remain the same. Batteries connected in parallel must be of the same voltage, i.e. a 12V battery can not be connected in parallel with a 6V battery. It is best to also use batteries of the same capacity when using parallel connections.
There are two ways to wire batteries together, parallel and series. The illustration below show how these wiring variations can produce different voltage and amp hour outputs. In the graphics we’ve used sealed lead acid batteries but the concepts of how units are connected is true of all battery types.
In actual practice, people put lead acid batteries in parallel and cycle them that way frequently. Just look at RV's and boats and off-grid installations. A fuse for each battery would not be a bad idea. If you are charging them all anyway then what does it matter if one discharges into another?
