What happens when connecting two batteries of different amp hour rating in parallel?

The battery with the highest voltage will try to charge the battery with the lowest voltage to create a balance in the circuit. The greater the voltage difference, the greater the probability of fire or explosion.

RELATED QUESTIONS

How many batteries can you charge in parallel?
The batteries of the same or different type can be charged in parallel. The total voltage stays the same when you connect the batteries in parallel.
Can you connect batteries in parallel with different amp hours?
You can't connect batteries of different Ah series with a good result. You can use diodes to connect batteries of different Ah. Is this true? If you want to connect the batteries to the UPS, you should use diodes. One battery can't be charged and the other battery can't be charged.
What happens if you mix up hot and neutral wires?
When hot and neutral wires are flipped around at an outlet or upstream from an outlet, this happens. It's usually easy to repair reversed polarity. Is that correct? The ungrounded conductor is the wire that doesn't connect to the earth.
What will happen if the positive and negative connections on the voltmeter are reversed?
It will show a negative reading if it is connected in a reverse manner and reading DC. A reverse DC connection will result in a zero reading if it is an analog meter. It won't make a difference if you reverse the meter connection.
When two cells with the same voltage are connected in series What happens to the voltage?
If two components are connected in a series, the supply voltages are the same. If one component has more resistance than the other, the higher resistance component will have more power than the lower resistance component.
What happens if you put two batteries in parallel?
You can double the output capacity if you connect two batteries in parallel. The output capacity is kept the same if two identical batteries are connected in series.
