There is one down side: A battery with a slightly higher voltage will slowly discharge into a lower one when connected in parallel. We had an Isuzu diesel trick here at work that had two parallel 12V batteries, and would slowly run the batteries down over a one-or-two month period if it didn't get started and run periodically. After replacing the batteries more than once and checking repeatedly for a parasitic drain on them, I finally replaced them with 2 6-volt batteries in series. Same approximate amount of stored energy, but they can't discharge into each other. Those batteries have been in there for over four years now and it still starts right up even after sitting for extended periods.
