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.

A typical Lithium battery Most batteries can be connected to increase battery capacity and / or voltage in the following ways:
Multiple interconnected batteries are called a battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, the voltage increases. When batteries are connected in parallel, the capacity increases. When batteries are connected in series/parallel, both the voltage and the capacity increase. Single battery. Two batteries in series. Two batteries in parallel.
Parallel Batteries must match cart controller voltage (36V/48V/72V), do not connect parallel batteries in series to protect from high voltages which will destroy electronics, and can cause personal injury. Parallel connections increase Amp-hour capacity (x3 30Ah = 90Ah; x5 36Ah = 180Ah).
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.
Most of the current will therefore travel through the bottom battery. And only a small amount of current will travel through the top battery. The correct way of connecting multiple batteries in parallel is to ensure that the total path of the current in and out of each battery is equal.
Flow batteries and other chemistries. These are commonly available in 48V. Multiple batteries can connect in parallel without any issues. Each battery has its own battery management system. Together they will generate a total state of charge value for the whole battery bank. A GX monitoring device is needed in the system.
