2 6v batters VS 2 12v
I just replaced the house batteries in our Sea Breeze after getting 8 years out of them. It had to 6v in it. Just curious, why do some people run two 6 volts instead of parallel 12v?

Two part answer
Most 12 volt batteries are MARINE/Deep cycle. and should not be allowed to drop below around 75-80% state of charge
Groups sizes
24, about 75 amp hours total
27/29 Just under/over 100
30 120-130
That's total amp hours each. there are some differenced with is why the range and about.s
Now GOLF CAR (GC) batteries are TRUE deep cycle. you can talk them down to half full and a pair of GC-2 In series make one big 12 volt battery. about 220 amp hours give or take 10.
See the difference.. Way more usable power.
the DEEP CYCLE (GC) battery is more likely to survive and OH @!@@#! level discharge too (If promptly recharged).
