6 volt batteries in series
I have two 6-volt batteries wired in series. If I understand this right, this gives me 12 volts and 100 amp. If I had two 12-volt batteries wired in parallel I would have 200 amps. Can I switch to ...

In series voltages are combined, amperage remains constant, with parallel wiring voltage is constant and amperage is combined. Never seen 6 volt batteries with only 100 amps, our pair of golfcart batteries provide over 230 amps which for most accounts gives us plenty of 12 volt reserves, being that solar and occasional genny use keeps them replenished. Started with a pair of 12 volt batteries, observed better throughput and lifespan after switching to 6 volt GC2 batteries. It is a moot point if you don't do much RVing off the power grid.
