Ok, the back battery on my I2 died yesterday after 7k miles and 6 years of gliding.

I've heard that if you replace one of the batteries, you should replace both. (merely another $800).
Has anybody ever replaced just one battery and left an older, higher mileage battery in?
Before the back battery tragically bit the dust, I was still getting about 20 miles range. As long as the older battery doesn't damage the new one, then I can live with slightly reduced range.
Also, should I put the new or the old battery in the rear position?
