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.

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.
Learn MoreThere are three different ways to connect batteries together, each with its own outcome. Connect in series - Connecting two or more batteries together in series will increase the overall voltage. For example, if you connect two 12V 75Ah batteries in series, you will have a battery voltage of 24V and a capacity of 75Ah.
To connect batteries in series to increase the voltage you must first double-check that your batteries are the same voltage and capacity. Using batteries with different voltages could result in damaged batteries. Connect the negative terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of the other battery with battery-to-battery cables.
There are three ways to connect your lead acid batteries—parallel, series, and a combination known as series/parallel. We cover each of these battery configurations in greater detail in our Battery Basics tutorial section of the site should you want to delve in a little deeper or reinforce what you already know.
Connecting two or more sets of batteries together by wiring them in a series-parallel connection will increase both the voltage and capacity of the battery bank. For example, if you have 6V 215Ah batteries in a series-parallel connection, you can end up with a battery voltage of 12V and 645Ah.
Connect in series - Connecting two or more batteries together in series will increase the overall voltage. For example, if you connect two 12V 75Ah batteries in series, you will have a battery voltage of 24V and a capacity of 75Ah. Batteries connected in series must have the same voltage and capacity ratings.
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.
