Remember there are 2 sides... Charge and discharge...

On the discharge side, properly wired, you will draw equally from all batteries... And the lower capacity cells will draw down quicker.. The batteries will try to equalize drawing from the higher capacity..

On charge side, not great either as you are likely to overheat the lower capacity... The charge voltage won't drop as quickly as the lower capacity batteries would like. Not as bad with flooded as some other chemistries, but still not good.

Bottom line, to me not worth the risk to the new batteries.
