Change 6v batteries to 12v batteries
I have an '09 phaeton. The 6 house batteries were replaced with 6- 12v instead of 6- 6v batteries. Can I keep the 12v and use 3 of them or do I need to get 6- 6v? And would they all be golf cart batte...

Don't have a clue what you want to do...
It takes two 6V golf cart batteries in series to give you 220AHs and will produce 12VDC for around 447 minutes (7.45Hours).
If you have three groups of these two series 6VDC golf cart batteries in parallel then you can get 660AHs and will produce 12VDC for around 1340 minutes (22 hours)
If you parallel 2 each 12VDC Trojan 27TMX Batteries you will get 205Ahs and will produce 12VDC for 350 minutes (5.8HRS)
If you parallel 6 each 12VDC Trojan 27TMX batteries you will get 630AHS and will produce 12VDC for 1050 minutes (17.5 hours).
Give or take a few...
Just remember the rule of thumb to re-charge a deep cycle battery using smart mode technology in three hours time is around 15AMPS DC current for each 12VDC battery. three groups of 6VDC golf cart batteries will need around 45 amps...
six each Trojan 27TMX will need around 90AMPS of DC charge... Your standard 55AMP convert/charger will have to be swapped out for a bigger one...
Then you have all that weight to worry about... 6V batteries weight around 62lbs each.. The Trojan 27TMX will weigh around 55 LBS each.
You will also have to use much heavier battery cables as well...
Lots of things to consider adding lots of batteries...
