2 x 12 volts or 2 x 6 volts batteries?
Hi, I am about to replace my house batteries. I was reading that connecting 2 x 6 volts in series will double the voltage but not the amps. Connecting 2 x 12 volts in parallel will keep the same 12 vo...

Not a useful comparison
You can't use (3) 6's in an RV, you need two or four
Two sixes is still only 245 amp hrs at 12v
And two 12's will be from 160>210 amp hrs, depending group size and rating
Cheap grp 24 75 amp hrs each
Good grp27 110 amp hrs each
In many cases when going fla batteries, 6v GC give the best results,
Unless you are planning for heavy inverter loads,, then 12 AGM give better results
on contraire its very usefull in showing where in most cases the use of two 6v batterys has a better amp hour rate than a single twelve
or in the case of a golf cart 6x6 is double the good of 3x12
why cant u use six 6 volts or Three twelve Volt in a RV?
The very best rating for a 27Rv even at 210 if u can find one is
actually 125amp hours and there expensive.
I had no idea though that 12V AGM were far superior to (2)6V AGM
