Status: offline 		If the packs were not of the same capacity, would not one of the packs potentially reach full discharge first? Would this not create an unsafe condition or damage the pack(s)?

The packs will discharge in proportion to thier individual capacity. There is no problem using packs of different capacity as long as they have the same cell count. See http://www.hangtimes.com/parallel_packs.html
