When you mix old and new, the fresh battery will send out all its current for the voltage and internal resistance, which can be a lot more than an older battery. Over time this will over discharge the older battery and it will start to leak. Not to mention the new battery won't last as long as the new battery will be supplying most of the power.
If you use old battery with new battery then it harmful for new batteries. Battery power is not constant and reduce the new battery power too. This doesn't really answer the question. Highly active question. Earn 10 reputation (not counting the association bonus) in order to answer this question.
The complication is that if you charge the older batteries separately then the terminal voltage of old vs new becomes a management problem. You could provide a relay to disconnect the older batteries when they reach the lower SOC, but again the variation in terminal voltage becomes a significant issue.
The only difference is that older battery's have a lower CAPACITY. The older (lower capacity) batteries will NOT overcharge or undercharge compared to the newer (higher capacity) batteries. The side effect of putting older (lower capacity) batteries in parallel with newer batteries is shown clearly in the graph Laptop2d showed.
A. Do not mix old and new batteries. Doing so will reduce overall performance and may cause battery leakage or rupture. We recommend replacing all batteries within a device. Q. Can I mix different battery types? A. No, different batteries are designed for different purposes.
By removing the batteries and replacing them in different places, you could be putting the less-depleted batteries in the more-hungry slots, which would squeeze a little more life out of them.

Why battery chargers take a pair of batteries and not one?
$begingroup$ @RussellMcMahon, that assumes the batteries have the same capacity. New ones do, but as they age, the capacity does not change equally for all cells (differences in manufacturing, maybe one cell has more cycles or was in higher temperature etc), which would still leave one cell overcharged and one undercharged.
