$begingroup$ Charge them separately with a good (3 or more stage) battery charger and see if they hold their charge for a day (setlling at about 12.6 or 12.7 V), or if they charge at all. If they do, you can probably safely charge them together. There are always risks involved when charging lead acid batteries. Keep them well ventilated and fused.

Although a lead acid battery may have a stated capacity of 100Ah, it''s practical usable capacity is only 50Ah or even just 30Ah.

Learn MoreBecause lead acid batteries can supply such high currents, it's important to assure that you use the right wire thickness / diameter. If the wire is too thin, it causes too much resistance and thus may overheat, causing the insulation to catch fire. Lead acid batteries can be very dangerous, so you have to be very carefull with them.
Personally, I always make sure that anything connected to a lead acid battery is properly fused. The common rule of thumb is that a lead acid battery should not be discharged below 50% of capacity, or ideally not beyond 70% of capacity. This is because lead acid batteries age / wear out faster if you deep discharge them.
This means that if you (accidentally) short-circuit a lead acid battery, the battery can explode or it can cause a fire. Whatever object caused the short-circuit, will probably be destroyed. Because lead acid batteries can supply such high currents, it's important to assure that you use the right wire thickness / diameter.
Terminals: Connect the battery to the external circuit. Figure 1: Lead Acid Battery. The battery cells in which the chemical action taking place is reversible are known as the lead acid battery cells. So it is possible to recharge a lead acid battery cell if it is in the discharged state.
Lead acid batteries often can't use all available solar power to charge because they just can't charge any faster, no matter their capacity. This means that even though there would have been enough energy available to fully charge the batteries, it was not available long enough to fully charge the batteries.
In the charging process we have to pass a charging current through the cell in the opposite direction to that of the discharging current. The electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical form, when the charging current is passed, lead acid battery cells are capable of producing a large amount of energy.
