Adding a new lead acid battery in parallel to an old one?
Note, when you parallel batteries, you should have a fuse/breaker per string to prevent a short on one battery string from being feed by the other string--this does add wiring/costs to parallel battery system--and one of the many reasons why I/we really recommend going to a single string of larger AH batteries rather than paralleling--others include more electrolyte caps to check, more

3. Battery bank wiring
If a large battery bank is needed, we do not recommend that you construct the battery bank out of numerous series/parallel 12V lead acid batteries. The maximum is at around 3 (or 4) paralleled strings. The reason for this is that with a large battery bank like this, it becomes tricky to create a balanced battery bank.

Equalize the state of charge of two series connected 12V batteries using the Battery Balancer. Find a Victron Energy dealer near you.
Can a lead acid battery be voltage charged?
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. The power supply is capable of maintaining the fixed float voltage.
Do you need a fuse for a lead acid battery?
In actual practice, people put lead acid batteries in parallel and cycle them that way frequently. Just look at RV's and boats and off-grid installations. A fuse for each battery would not be a bad idea. If you are charging them all anyway then what does it matter if one discharges into another?
What happens if a lead-acid battery fails?
In all the examples, two or more lead-acid batteries are connected in series. When a single lead-acid battery in the stack fails, all the lead-acid batteries in the series stack need to be replaced to maintain battery stack performance. This is a considerable expense.
What is the difference between a series and a parallel battery?
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. Four batteries in series/parallel. Four batteries in series.
