Batteries in Parallel

Is it safe to connect two robot batteries in parallel? I am working on an offseason project that requires some serious power, and uninterrupted power (running off one battery until it is dead, switching to both, then removing the dead battery while it runs off the secondary battery)

Standard parallelization of batteries to my understanding is okay, but I'm questioning this unique circumstance since the batteries may have different charges (one may be fully charged at 13 volts and the other nearly dead at 11). Will this cause bad side effects or decrease preformance of either battery?
