A good battery will not kill a weak battery.
The charging system kills the good battery.
If you have a good and a weak battery in the system, the voltage will be low, the regulator will recognize this and attempt to charge it up. Since the good battery is already fully charged, the additional electron flow is turned to heat. The good battery cannot accept and store any more electrical energy so the battery "boils" its electrolyte. This is how a marginal battery "kills" a "good" battery. The same thing will happen if you connect a 12 V load in the middle of a 24 V set. You over charge the battery that is not connected to the 12 V load. John Deere tried to balance the 12 v lighting load on their 24 V 4020 diesel? It wasn't too sucessful.
