I have a solar powered torch, battery 2.4v 280mah nicad, hard pcb wired.

I am thinking of wiring up a second nicad battery 750 mah in parallel.

My question, when one nicad, probably the 280 mah dies, what happens ?

Does it go open circuit, closed circuit, how does it affect charging and
useage of the higher capacity nicad

Any experience of same ??

TIA
