I just had the same issue.
Had a 12 volt deep cycle flooded acid house battery and two six volts in series as "add on" power.
Decided to scrap that and went with 12 volt Duracell AGM house battery and 2 more of those same AGM's as add on power.
If you have 2 six volt batteries in series and one takes a dump, then both are worthless. If 1 of the 12 volt takes a dump, you just remove that 1 battery.
AGM is also "no" maintenance and takes a faster charge, plus more forgiving to deep discharges and more able to handle vibration. However they cost more.
Sams club has the best deal on those at $178
