In parallel charging they have to be the same cell count but can be any capacity. In serial charging they have to be the same capacity but can be any cell count.
On a different note I accidentally charged a fully charged pack and a fully discharged pack together last weekend. I thought I grabbed the one I had run but it turned out I grabbed the one I was going to run. I tell you, it is hard to keep track of 6 batteries that all look the same. Anyhow I plugged them together and started the charge. Nothing was different. There was no spark when I connected them, no nothing of any kind. some 30min later when I went to run my next pack I found that I had used the wrong one, so I ran over and checked the charger. I stopped the charger and unplugged both packs to see how they were doing. Both packs were at 4.18V on all cells. So I plugged them back in and let them finish, no harm no foul.
