I had to buy two new batteries last week for my LQ trailer. I use the marine batteries and they did not have but one of the size I needed so they sold me it and one a little bigger. The guy said it would work if I could fit them in the box. They both fit so I hooked them up. The problem is on the control board it just shows good, not charged. It has always showed all 4 lights before, now just 3. Do two batteries of different sizes not work together? I went back to where I bought them, a feed co-op and asked the manager and he didn't know but would ask the battery guy the next time they delivered. What else should I look at? I haven't had this problem before when I replaced the batteries.

Two different sized batteries of the same voltage will work together. Their recharging rates will differ, and may effect your charging indicator.
