And therein lies your problem. With 12 volt batteries, you double your amp hours when connecting two batteries. With 6 volt batteries, the amp hours of both batteries remains constant while the volts double.
So, if you had two 210AH 12 volt batteries, you had 410 AH of juice. With the two 210AH 6 volt batteries, you had 210AH of juice.
IMHO, 12 volt batteries are always a better choice.
Have to disagree with thatlook here
You can disagree all you want, but what I said is a fact. Two 6 volt batteries wired to yield 12 volts will keep the amp hours of the batteries the same. Two 12 volt batteries wired to yield 12 volts will double the amp hurs.
THAT IS A FACT AND A LAW OF ELECTRICITY.
