6v vs. 12v house batteries
If you have 4 6v house batteries, would you be better off to replace them with 2 12V house batteries.

Hi,
That is, unless the two 12 volts are 8D. Then the pendulum swings to the 12 volts. It would probably cost more.Blaster Man wrote:
Lots of info provided so far...some confusing. Bottom line, four 6volts are better and more powerful that two 12volts.
Discussions that involve 8Ds or 4Ds is an apples to oranges comparison.
The thread is about 6 or 12 volt, not the size of the battery. There are 6 volt deep cycles in larger sizes also that have more than 300 AH ratings each. For example; Lifeline GPL-6C, 300 AH
It all comes down to the amount of room in the battery bay. How many AH one wants. What is the budget. Weight.
